We are already doing that (or rather, the moon is doing it to us), more by changing earth's rotation than by changing distance. We just need to wait a couple billion years for earth to be tidally locked to the moon (and not just the other way around like it is now).

> a couple billion years

What good does an eclipse if the Sun is all around? Or rather, we can commemorate that we'll have half a day long solar eclipses all year long.
