So let's suppose you got the cable attached. Is your purpose to wind the cable around the earth, and pull the moon closer day by day causing the end of days when the moon plows into the earth?<br><b>References : </b><br> Look up synodic month on http://www.wolframalpha.com - the moon’s orbit is about 29.53 days (not 27.53).

As a result, the Moon isn't above any particular spot on Earth for more than a fraction of a second.<br><b>References : </b><br> No. The Moon is in orbit around the Earth and the Earth is rotating.

If you had a tether strong enough, you could make a space elevator. That would be much more useful than a computer cable between the Earth and the Moon, since information can just be transmitted wirelessly, and a space elevator would be a relatively inexpensive means of getting objects into space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator<br><b>References : </b><br> No. The Moon is in motion around the Earth, and the Earth rotates, so the cable would either break or get pulled out of one of its attachment points as the Earth turns its end of the cable away from the Moon.

Even if the cable could support it's own weight, it could not last long if if wrapped around the earth at the rate of 40,075+ km per month.<br><b>References : </b><br> The moon orbits around the earth in about 27.3 days.
