The tidal transfer of momentum relevant here is the axial rotational energy of the Sun basically pushing the Earth away.

Thanks, I get it now. The rotational spin of the Sun is flinging the Earth away. Sort of like holding the hands of a child while spinning it around, your rotational energy is imparted to the child. Poor kid, some year far in the future the Moon will be flung out of orbit from Earth.

Maybe we could spin it so the dark side was facing us! 8D

Yes, we could do that. Then the moon would not be so racist.
