a big ass one made outta kevlar or kryptonite cuz ? then if we do that we can control the weather yo ! :O

lol u cant do dat bro then the moon will hit the sun u mormon
Not really the same but reminds me of the space elevator

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?

Don't connect the rope to the earth, just leave it about 1 or 2 meters in the air at perigee. It will be much higher most of the time, but if you are in the right place at the right time, the rope will swing down and you can grab ahold and climb up.
100 meters of rope could be had wholesale for about a dollar, so 4 million x 100m would be about $4 million.
That scenario is fun to imagine. It would literally be hitting into mountains tough so that could be messy. I would be interested to grab on but it would be moving fast if it is gone around the whole world every day. If it got somehow stuck and tangled with the earth tough I'd be afraid of the orbit around the moon been changed. It could lead to the moon and earth literally colliding. It would cost more then 4 million anyway. You would have to pay space people to fly rockets into space to pull it up to the moon. Rockets could be expensive. More like a billion to do this project.
Easy guys - build a big crossbow and use a bungee cord. Duh.

a billion aint nuttin. kim kardashian prolly spent that much just in plastic surgery. her butt is nice tho, id clap it lol

Construct an orbital ring around Earth, e.g., a large number of smaller objects in non-geostationary orbit at the same distance and on the same orbital plane. Next, construct magnetic rail systems on the ring to allow independent movement of things that are attached to the rail. Multiple levels of rails may, of course, be constructed, and each would allow for independent movement. Do the same for the moon.
Make as many orbital rings as necessary, each one getting further and further out. Between each such ring, create transports that allow quick and easy travel between them. At some point, the furthest orbital ring around Earth will be relatively close to the furthest orbital ring around the moon. Now, create a transport between these two orbital rings, e.g.., a large cable with one end attached to a rail system on the Earth's orbital ring and the other end to a rail system on the moon's orbital ring. Since the moon is in a very non-uniform orbit, the distance between the orbital rings varies, and thus the cable itself will need to be pulled in or out as needed by some machinery. And, of course, since its attached to the rails, the cable ends themselves are allowed to move independently to minimize the length of the cable and make sure that nothing obstructs the cable (like, say, the Earth). Docking stations on the rings could also be constructed to facilitate getting on and off the rings.
Finally, create a platform (using a rail system on the ring) that moves in sync with the Earth's surface and attach a cable system from the ring to the Earth. Do the same for the moon. Now, we have a transport system between the Earth and moon using nothing but cables. (Note that, in the space elevator, the center of mass needs to be in geosynchronous orbit, so the cable needs to be extremely large and massive and we don't currently know how to make one that can withstand the tension. However, since the nearest orbital ring can be very close to Earth, the cable system for this is much more feasible. In fact, all of this could, in theory, be built today. It doesn't defy any physics, requires no new discoveries, and it can be built slowly over time.)
A lot of other interesting things could be done with these orbital rings. They certainly remove the any selling points a space elevator might have. They could also be used to extend the scope and reach of Earth's surface by creating as many layers of artificial surface as desired by attaching large platforms to the rail systems.
I enjoyed reading that thanks.
What material do you think the tether will be? Surely not metal. It would have to deal with some temperatures, ultra violet in space, and how much stretch would it have?
Wouldn't the rope wind around the Earth and pull the moon closer as the Earth rotates?
You could do it if the rope was carried to the moon by a helicopter that was solar powered or some sh!t.
Since deep space is mostly vacuum, thermal radiation is the primary means by which a body (that is not in thermal equilibrium with space) may cool. For most every day objects, this cooling will be a relatively slow process. So, temperatures aren't much of a problem for most materials. If the object has moisture, that can have some weird effects (water apparently boils then freezes in deep space -- it boils due to lack of pressure, and once the water is in a gaseous state, it may quickly radiate its heat since the surface area is maximized in the gas form).
In conclusion, metals and other such materials may be safely used.
This would make a nice comp for some crossfitters to see how far they could climb up
And, as far as stretching is concerned... I guess I was thinking of a cabling system with a more dynamic structure with only occasional contacts, e.g., instead of a cable being directly connected to adjacent orbital rings, imagine beam-like structures magnetically being slowly spun (and aligned) between two orbital rings such that you can hop on one end of a beam passing near one of the orbital rings and then letting it transport you to the other orbital ring.
There are many other such designs that are possible.
Btw, this is belial. I finally registered.
So you still think the moon is real? It's just a light show. Try to keep up.
its photoshopped, dude. irl that things a disaster
