In Universe Sandbox you can reverse velocities, which creates the appearance of reversing time, but it's not actually playing time backwards.
While it's true that the moon is slowly moving away from the earth (at like a centimeter or two a year, I think), I suspect that Universe Sandbox simply isn't capable of the accuracy or the speed necessary to simulate this very small change.
Something on the list (of new features to add) is drag. This would allow you to simulate the moon spiraling into the earth.
