        If the moon was near the surface of the earth, I think we would have a lot more problems, like the tidal forces would tear the crust apart

          The Moon is so far from the surface of Earth you can comfortably fit every single planet in the solar system between Earth and the Moon.

          This would lead to a cataclysm and people would generally disapprove of you doing this, but the point is there’s space in space.
