    I think you’re under complicating it. For starters our solar system has not existed since the Big bang…

    The Moon is also not getting slingshot out of orbit. It will eventually attain a tidally locked orbit.

      That’s bot exactly what I was referring to, I meant the creation of the earth so I was incorrect there referencing the big bang. Rest of the point stands though, shortly after the earth formed or was forming it was struck and the moon was created and slowly started falling away to it’s current position. Quick search shows it is locked in a dynamic orbit now. I did need some brushing up of the subject, cheers
