Why doesn't the moon crash into the earth?

In Feb 2023, I gave a public outreach talk on why does the Moon not crash into the earth. It’s inpired from an earlier video of mine. This video argues that the Moon and a falling object are essentially very similar; it’s just that the Moon has been “thrown” with a much larger speed. Check it out.

Here is the simulation.

This simulation can be used by science undergraduates, and also school teachers as teaching aids.
