"Why do astronomers care how many inches separate Earth and the moon? For one thing, the moon is drifting farther from Earth. That's because friction, caused by the planet's oceans sloshing against the atmosphere, is slowing Earth's rotation around its own axis. Think of an ice skater twirling on ice. By pulling in her arms, a skater's spin speeds up. As she slows down, her arms extend out. The same thing happens with the Earth and moon. The slower the Earth rotates, the farther away the moon moves--about 4 cm (1.6 in.) per year. So long, moon! " from http://articles.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1590/is_n11_v54/ai_20463893

However, the question is, is this rate of drift constant over time? From http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_young2.htm, "The distance from the center of the moon to the center of the earth currently averages about 238,000 miles or 15.08 billion inches. If they were moving apart at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per year, then about 1 billion years ago, their centers would be about 1.5 billion inches or 23,674 miles closer together; they would still be about 214,000 miles apart."
