sinA = 6400/(238.900+r) = 2160/r
6400r=2160*238,900+2160r
r = 2160*238,900/4240 = 121,704
A = 1.02 deg.
90-A = 88.98 deg
If the moon orbited in the equatorial plane, there would be areas 1.02 degrees from each pole from which the moon could never be seen. However, the moon has an inclination of orbit to the ecliptic of 5.9 deg, and the Earth has an inclination of 23.5 deg. Therefore the moon makes excursions from the equatorial plane of up to 29.4 deg, making it visible to all points on Earth at some time.
Though there are latitudes where you will not see the full moon for months, there will always some months in which the full moon can be observed.

Yupp.
On earth but in a building. You won't see a single moon because there is a roof or attics on top.
