Abstract

The amount of energy that be needed to prevent the moon from colliding with Earth is around 5.72 $\times$ 10$^{24}$ J and the orbit described would have a time period of 255 days. It would take 5 million years for the UK to produce the high amount of energy required and even if we could produce the energy, the tidal effects from the moon would be disastrous
