      Would the curvature not get in the way at a certain distance?

      EDIT

      I was thinking if the moon was somehow ‘resting’ on the earth’s surface. If you head West, to around the Boston area, it would be eventually be obscured by the curvature of the earth.

      or if the moon takes up the whole sky(really close), the earths crust nearest to moon would start to destabalize and liquiefy, and melt.
