1. What roadblocks would you run into in early phases of the mission?
2. What would happen then?
3. How high could you climb up the rope? Could Chuck Norris climb to the moon?

I like nylon half inch rope. It's easy to use, and it's strong. US Rope and Cable sells 600 foot spools for $560. Let's see...I'd have to buy 2.2 million spools. Aw, I could do that...Oh, it would cost $1.2 Billion. I'd have to sell my watch. I'm going to check with NASA to see how much rope they could haul up there. Hang on.
At .07 pounds per foot, your rope would weigh 88 million pounds. Better get lots of rocket fuel.
I'm buyin' Dupont stock.
Yeah, but up there somewhere, the rope would be weightless. Just floating.
This may be a Chuck Norris trick to influence the tides.
I don't think the rock would be big enough. Also, that half inch twisted nylon rope has a breaking strength of about 5,000 pounds. What's the tension on the rope going to be? Looks iffy.
I've manhandled bigger planetary bodies than that, guys. It's the hot ones that get tricky.
This would be a piece of cake. (1) Easy squeezy. (2) No problemmo (3) yes.
You are all missing the bigger problem. The US hasn't been to the moon since 1972. China would want to run Chinese bamboo to Beijing instead. This has global implications!
