No. Rather the moon would shoot out into space in a straight line.

Why is the moon drifting away from earth?
As all things in the solar system is moving the gravity pull is getting less between earth and the moon.
The pull of gravity on the moon is 0.17 times on earth's on which planet would you weigh less?
Your question is very unclear, but the gravity of the Moon is 1/6 the amount of Earth's gravity. So, you would way 1/6 the amount on the Moon. You would way less on the Moon.
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
Does the moon control the gravity?
Everything that has mass has gravity, even you. The Moon has its own gravitational pull as does the Earth.
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to the Earths Surface.
Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?
If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.
How does Newton's law of the universe gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.

Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
In which direction does gravity pull the moon?
The Earth's gravity pulls the Moon towards it and its center.
When does the sun's gravity combine the Moon's gravity?
It combines at all times. Poorly worded, meaningless question. During a solar eclipse (Sun, Moon,Earth all in line) the gravitational pull in the direction of the Moon would be the greatest. During a lunar eclipse (Moon, Earth, Sun in a line) the Moon's pull would be in the opposite direction of the Sun's gravity.
What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
When astronauts travel to the moon their bodies experience a lower gravitational pull than on Earth Which type of pull are they experiencing?
Which type of pull? This is still gravity, but now it's the Moon's gravity or "Lunar gravity".
What would be the affect of the Moon's and sun's gravitational pull on earth?
The Moon would continue to orbit the Sun, possibly in a different orbit. Assuming the Moon kept its (Earth) orbital velocity, this would cause it to move either slightly closer or slightly farther from the Sun. The Moon's relative velocity to the Earth is about 1 km/sec whereas the Earth-Moon system orbits the Sun at 30 km/sec. The sudden disappearance of the Earth would mean the continuation of the Moon's solar orbit, albeit possibly altered.
Why does the pull of gravity keep the moon in orbit around the earth rather than pulling the moon into earth?
The reason is that the Moon is always moving forward.The forward movement of the Moon is balanced with the inward pull of Earth's gravity.Because of this balance, the Moon stays in stable orbit around the Earth.
