I'm sorry Al and g.
I totally screwed up.
I was, for a short period of time, thinking of the moon as rotating with respect to the Earth.
It doesn't.
If my brain weren't tied in a knot for a bit, I wouldn't have made the comment about dark side.
I understood what you meant.
As penitence for my egotistical sin, I will perform numerical calculation. I'll calculate the length
of a uniform cable required for stability on the near and far sides of the moon. Maybe it's not such
a bad idea...
