Rope would be too heavy to support its own weight. It would break.

No it would not! It's average weight would be almost zero, I mean think about it. Most of the rope would be in SPACE where there is no mass or even any weight. Only about a millionth of the rope would even be sus sucept sussupti I mean grabbed on by Gravity, a great force but not when it doesn't even exist in SPACE. Their, QED.
That's a stupid idea....Better to connect it to the sun so we can see where we're going.
I literally don't think it would be possible. It would take literally too much money.
I'd like to see a lunar base in the next 100 years. Maybe a martian base in the next 200.
Wow, you people are dense. All you have to do is tie the rope around a cow's neck before it jumps over the moon. You could then climb up either side.
A length of rope walks into a bar.
The bartender looks at him and says "get out, we don't serve ropes in here!"
The rope goes outside and cuts himself in half and ties his two sections together.
Not pleased with his appearance, he takes a comb and combs out his ends.
He walks back into the bar and the bartender says "hey, aren't you that rope I just kicked out?"
And the rope replied "no, I'm a frayed knot."

Do tractor beams break?

The moon is not geo stationary. How would you manage the movement of the rope on earth?
If your goal is to control weather, I think there are cheaper ways to do that.
Distance from earth to moon is about 400 000 km, and the orbit is elliptical. How are you going to manage the elliptical orbit? And what would 400 000km of tether cost?
Find the other focal point and put a wheel on the moon so that the sum of the foci remains constant throughout the orbit.

Apparently you'd like to see an increase in life expectancy as well.
Kim Kardashian's rear is nice?
You must be hitting the MJ if you think that fat flabby hairy Armenian butt is nice. She's a pig.
Practicalities... I think we will have to first fly the rope up to the moon, then uncoil it towards earth. That way we do not deal with gravity while pulling a line up from earth trailing behind a rocket, and the rocket not burning the line behind it.
This line needs to be lightweight, cost per kg to get something to the moon is very expensive. The cost approaches that of excess luggage on flights.
How old are you? 5? Dumbest post I've even seen.
No

It's sad that schools let ignorant people graduate.

Which would be more impressive- The base or the 200 year old man?
Does the ISS have a laser printer?
Send up supplies and have them create the rope and drop it down.
Yeah but the sun is like hot, it would burn the rope.
Let's just start with the moon, then start connecting all the other planets after that, maybe with those tubes supermarkets have.
Fly up there and stick that dang old rope deep inside that stupid moon’s slimey keister and your good to go!

Yes, the sun is hot..That's why you have to do it at night.
