No. In fact, bouncing lasers off the laser reflectors left by the Apollo astronauts has proven that the Moon is actually moving away from the Earth, around 2 inches a year or so. So if Neil Armstrong went back after these 40+ years, he'd have perhaps 7 feet more to travel than he did in 1969!

No. that 's because gravity on the Earth the gravational pull cant let the moon fall down to Earth if the moon has an orbit not too slow and not too fast if it were moving too fast the moon would fly out of its orbit If it were moving too slow then the moon would hit the earth
