Each year, the moon is drifting farther away from the earth by a couple centimeters. After millions of years, the moon will be gone and the earth will be moonless. We probably will adjust and figure something out to compensate and maybe in some ways, it may be better without the moon.

However, the moon will always be remembered and be a legend. Future generations will look back at the era when there was a moon and realize it's beauty.

So my point is enjoy the beauty you have today. Don't take anything for granted. Whether it's a smile from a stranger or a sunrise at the beach. Savor the day. Capture the moment of the bloom for nothing lasts forever.

I'm not sure that losing the moon would be a good thing for the planet. If I understand the science correctly, the tidal force exerted by the moon on the earth is one of the factors that make life here possible for a variety of reasons.
