In “It’s a Wonderful Life”, George Bailey wanted to lasso the moon so that he could give it to Mary. Then, in “Bruce Almighty”, Jim Carrey actually did it.
“Off all the creatures who had yet walked on Earth, the man-apes were the first to look steadfastly at the Moon. And though he could not remember it, when he was very young Moon-Watcher would sometimes reach out and try to touch that ghostly face rising above the hills.”
“He had never succeeded, and now he was old enough to understand why. For first, of course, he must find a high enough tree to climb.”

Wasn’t there a song about catching a moonbeam. To catch the moon requires considerably more effort. Besides where would you put it.

Gru, with a boatload of minions, figured it out, and how to return it when it got too cumbersome.

It was also the plot of a Larry Niven novel, “The Magic Goes Away”

It’s only 250,000 miles away. Probably closer in your time.
