@polymerwitch You might think you found a flaw in our current understanding of the cosmos - satellites and the ISS. You would be wrong! All of them actually hang on ropes under the moon, so they can be approached by actual spacecraft - as far as cosmology is considered they are a part of the moon's "spatial grid"
This also means that the coolest part of satellite launches had to be kept secret all this time: every permanent orbital object has to carry one or more SPACE HARPOONS to tether itself to the moon and "exit flight"
