It's like you've never heard of extension cords

That would make the moon wrap around the earth and then we'd be stuck. Imagine it being March 12th or whatever for eternity

Source: I played tetherball in 4th grade so imagine this probably works the same

As long as we sync it up with christmas everyone will be happy, duh. You guys just keep trying to find problems with this obviously perfect plan.

How about we build a really build Tesla tower

No, no, we just put a giant slip ring around the entire earth, so it can rotate with the earth. Or more seriously, they can use microwave power transmission to send the power back to earth. Except, then it would be better to just use satellites because you can lock those in geosynchronous orbits so you’re not only getting power in a tiny window each night.

If we shoot microwaves at the earth from the moon does that mean I can hold up a hot pocket at the night sky when I want a hot pocket

Space elevator, but it's just a bunch of orange extension cords daisy-chained together up to the moon.
