In accordance with Bell theorem, everything happens in such measurements as if there was a correlation propagating at infinite speed between the two this http URL correlations have been so far verified experimentally up to a distance of 1200 km. We discuss the interest and feasibility of extending this distance to 390,000 km, thus gaining a factor of 300. The idea is to install one of the polarimeters on the Moon, with the other on Earth. Such an experiment would provide a new test of Quantum Physics and allow to put higher constraints on alternative theories and interpretations. We also discuss the possibility to violate Bell inequalities beyond Earth-Moon distance.
