Great work, gamers, we touched digital grass and walked 270,000 more miles than Artemis 2's historic mission around the moon last week

On average, our moon is 238,855 miles away from Earth. If you were to impossibly try to drive there, at the UK's national motorway speed limit of 70mph, it would take you over 3412 hours, or 142 days. And that's just for a one-way trip. It's an unfathomable distance, and yet it's really not that far in the grand scheme of things—Venus is the closest planet to us (most of the time, at least), and that's 24 million miles away at best. You wouldn't catch me attempting the trip.
