To illustrate Dagj;
Moon's gravity causes the tides on Earth.

Earth's rotation cannot stop, due to her liquid core. But the moon certainly causes effects on Earth's movement, as also seen by double starsystems (wobbling ;D )

yes your right. stoping the rotations would be an exageration. but it still would be bad. but in effect by the time we have minned the moon down(if we can or will) there will be quite a few new masses in orbit. this could eventual be come plentiful enough to counter the losted moon mass.
