    But the moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth so it will not be true in the relatively near future.

        Okay, not as near as I thought, although I did mean “relatively” compared to the age of the Earth.

          I mean, and I’m saying this just to mess with you a little more, you could have said that you meant “relatively” compared to anything as a follow up depending on how your replies went XD

        They said “relatively”. So it’s okay.

          I don’t know if this is sarcastic, but pedantic and edifying are a venn diagram

        Earth will be a desert planet by then (not because of humans).

      And the sun is expanding, too.

      May take a while but if you look closely you will notice. Just wait.

      What if the earth and moon hung out a bit more and developed some better shared hobbies or something? Can we heal this relationship and stop this drifting-apart problem?
