The moon has just a little bit more speed than the Earth can hold onto

Unfortunately that's not how orbital mechanics works :(

If the moon had instantaneously more speed than the earth can hold onto (e.g. more centrifugal 'force' than balanced by the gravitational force), the moon will accelerate up, until the forces become balanced. This makes a elliptical orbit, like this:

Apparently the reason the moon is getting further away is that it's gaining energy from earth's tides

anyway you should play ksp

The problem with something like this is that people start to dislike it more with experience. People have to be less experienced to become more experienced, and so it's a certainty that there will be a lot of moderators that misuse it.

I also don't mean to sound like a gnome dev, but what is actually the use case for this?
