Sounds like a good plan to me

  I always wondered what happened to the guy who wrote word problems for high school physics textbooks. Just goes to show you either die a hero or live long enough to become the crack rock

  I do love that tidal power is actually just moon power. I think we should call it that more often.

    Lunar power, to accompany solar power.

  Funnily enough making the day the same length as the Moon’s orbit is enough to stop the Moon from drifting away by itself. It’s actually the tidal forces caused by that mismatch that are causing the Moon to slowly drift away.

  Another fun fact: The Earth’s day is getting slower due to those forces faster than the Moon is drifting away. Given enough time the Earth would end up tidally locked to the Moon and the Moon would stop drifting away on its own. Of course, they’ll both be consumed by the Sun long before that would happen, but I think it’s kinda interesting anyway.

  Smells like a greentext
