A day is actually 50 hours long

And if you want to build a ladder to the Moon you have to build it from the Moon to Earth.

I think I read somewhere that on Venus, a day is twice as long as a year (apparently it takes two orbits of the sun for it to complete one rotation)

Wouldn't it just float away in space?

No because it would be attached to the Moon.

But you can't attach it to Earth as it rotates, so leave a couple meters off adjusted for hills on the rotation axis.

Held in orbit by Earths gravity, though it is moving away from us gradually

We can have the bourgeois choose a random proletarian, to sacrifice his life and extend the ladder every couple of years.

Ok so what about space debris ... I don't think into would last 2 mins

How long would it take to climb said ladder? Will there be areas on the way up to stop for a break? Will wearing a space suit make climbing more difficult?

A long time, that's why you would have to sacrifice a proletarian once in a while. However due to Moon's gravity and Space, the climbing would be much easier, and when you reach Earth's gravitational pull, you can just climb down or attach a rope to one of the bars and absail to the Bottom.

It would certainly become more difficult the higher up the ladder you got due to reducing oxygen content

This is true, our days and nights are much longer here than yours on Earth. You should visit sometime.

Yes, that's why I moved here

I've never really thought about it this but after reading why the ladder can't start at earth it made me think.

I just assumed all the planets / satellites spun, same as us.

Why do some spin and some not ?

How do you provide for the point where suddenly we're not climbing up, we're climbing down...and suddenly facing the wrong way

with Earths rotation speed, wouldn’t the bottom of that ladder be pretty hard to catch?

I get the ladder bit, tell us more about the 50 hour day.

Let me correct myself, the date day is 50 hours long. Because of the +/- 12/14 hour time zones, 24th of February will last in total 50 hours. Starting at the earliest time zone and finishing at the latest one.

Ah that makes sense! I know every now and then they have to do a correcting second to balance things up so I was intrigued what you meant by that!

They do that's why some phones show the incorrect time by a few seconds.

Actually the ladder would only move at an average speed of 37.47mph, depending on the position of the moon on the spin axis.

I've also read that it's bullshit about moon not rotating on its own axis, we only experience that because it's aligned with it's rotation to the Earth.

So in theory building the ladder from the moon to Earth is not possible because, not only are both bodies spinning on their own axis, the distance between the Moon and the Earth changes depending on its cycle.

At Perigee the Moon is only 225,623 miles away, and at Apogee the Moon is 252,088 miles away.

A single date day is still 50 hours though. I'm not sure how it's affected by summer/winter time zone changes though
