When I saw the thread title, I thought it was from some DyesStat HS XC team wondering if they should drop trou and hang their fannies out the back of the bus on the way home from a meet.
But to answer the question: of course we need a moon, as a target goal for our ambitions. In the words of Robert Browning:
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp - or what's a heaven for?"
I must admit, when I first saw this thread, I too thought it had something to do with asses. As a connoisseur of female ass, I was in shock. Upon further review, alarm bells stopped ringing. We're simply discussing the importance of a large block of cheese. Nothing to see here...move along.

Imagine a moon-less weather report – blizzards over the Sahara, floodwaters swallowing the Pyramids, 90-degree temperatures in Antarctica. As the earth wobbles on its axis – unsecured by the moon's gravitational pull – the polar caps would grow and recede at frightening rates. And without the moon, our planet would spin much faster – meaning four-hour days and searing temperatures.
Worse yet, evidence reveals that we are in fact losing our grip on our lunar friend thanks to the ebb and flow of the oceans' tides. Experts reveal theories for salvaging the moon – including hijacking Europa from Jupiter – and demonstrate how we can prepare ourselves for our eventual life without it.
Is this something that could potentially happen any day now, 10 years, 100 years, or 1000 years?
There's a website with a number of different end of the world scenarios, but I don't recall this one. It might have been on there though.

I'm pretty sure the earth's wobble is so insignificant that it doesn't really any part in earth's weather.

I need the moon to illuminate the golf course at night....... my single favorite run is running on the golf course at night under a full moon
Who needs it! I've never had a good run there, anyway.
Personally, I could do without a moon, especially when its pressed to the window of a passing car

Risky. I guess you have no problems with werewolves were you live.
weren't Moon disks spun aluminum, not chrome?

I don't know, but a chrome moon will look pretty when I'm driving my Hypercar on a PaveWorld. And I might just want to take my Hypercar over to the moon.
I own the moon.

Heck I would. I'd have seconds, and polish it off with a nice, cool Budweiser.
Uhhhh...what can we as individuals do about this?
(WTF? Off the Xanax or what??)
Good night moon.

As individuals, nothing. But acting togeher a free and determined people can take the decisive and bold actions needs to end this evil.
I am convinced, as was John Kerry and Algore, that the Moon Men and Women are hiding weapons of mass destruction in the hollow cavity of that planet. We must act now to preserve our way of life and bring democracy to the moon and all its inhabitants.
And so today, I am pledging that by 2009 we will have an expeditionary force on the moon to claim it as the 53rd state, after Canada (51) and Nebraska (52) and to rid the threat that Al Queda and the Moon Men pose to us.
How fast can I run a 5k on the moon?

not very fast. You weigh less, but your weight sorta helps anchor you to the ground allowing you to take more strides. On the moon you'd be more like bounding, which is far slower than running. Plus you're in a spacesuit and have to carry your oxygen for the entire 5k.
