The moon is slowly migrating away from the earth into higher orbits (due to the earth spinning faster than the Moon’s orbit), eventually it could escape with a gravity assist from Mars or Venus. It’ll have tidal consequences for Earth, but not like catastrophic (though I suspect it might allow the earth’s core to cool a bit faster, which could be the beginning of the end of life on earth).
