      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

        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.
