since everything is weightless in space that obviously means planets are weightless . could I attach a rope to something on earth like a rock and travel to the moon with the other end of the rope, and then pull the rope (i work out) and thereby pull the moon closer to earth?
Thread: can I make the moon closer?

With that much rope you could secure several to a bed post

the answer is yes but since the rope passes through the atmosphere, you have to pull the rope with enough force to overcome the friction of miles of air against the rope's surface plus enough force to overcome the inertia any orbiting object would have that keeps it from falling in the first place, just to get it started on any new trajectory at all
but if you did the moon's new trajectory would make it fall to earth eventually, except that as it followed that trajectory the rope would wrap around the earth and pull it down harder, or snap
