[0:00]If you built a crane with a 400,000 mile arm, and you attached a six-mile wide cable to the moon, could you turn the moon into a giant wrecking ball?
[0:11]Well, the moon is already orbiting around Earth at over 2,000 miles per hour.
[0:17]So, once you attach the cable, it would keep moving, and that amount of force would rip the crane from the Earth.
