The Earth curves equally in every direction because it is spherical. So it's easy to hide the truth about the Moons motion in orbit around the Earth because it's path is the same wherever the wave orbit displaces. So any change depends on the change of rotational positions and their speed. This is known of as eclipses. One of the longest this year was observed for the whole day.
So it's also difficult to not think about the Moon changing position of rotation when every lunar landing has effected the Moons motion by action and reaction.
So too did the Space shuttles effect the rotation of the Earth in ways that related to the change of the Moons orbital direction. The amounts of hundred or so missions gives a very high Inertial push on Earth with the weight of the space shuttle sum , being many thousands of tonnes.
