And the stepladder suggestion seems to presuppose that the Moon is
both very close to the Earth and yet stationary relative to the Earth,
which might be harder to achieve then just contracting the orbit.
Or do it from a small boat like they used to have in the
old days - "The Distance of the Moon" by Italo Calvino,
found in the collection Cosmicomics (highly recommended).
