I was disappointed in this article that doesn't really explain what's going on. Yes, the moon is moving away from earth, because the energy transferred by tides. Said energy transfer is slowing the spin of earth, which lengthens the day. This transfer will stop once a day = a lunar month. At which point the moon will slowly decrease it's orbit until it hits the Roche limit and becomes a ring. Fun to think about, granted it's billions of years and the sun may become a red giant before then and either alter earths orbit or consume it.
