It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

A 4 case drawing instruction for an obvious thinking experiment: first, get a torch and a 300'000km long unbreakable and unfoldable stick, then ask a lunar friend to get the other end of the stick, then push the stick and at the same time light the torch, and the lunar friend would feel the stick moving before seeing the light.
