Everything you wanted to know about the moon. Its environment, its creation, our exploration and why it's one of a kind (at least in our solar system).

NASA has a cool gif of lunation, the moon's wobble.

"This distance is so great, that if you were to drive a car at 65 MPH non-stop, it would take you approximately 4 months, 28 days and 8 hours to reach the moon."

There's an interesting "fact". Has nobody responsible for that site noticed that you can't drive in space?

It's a curious analogy anyway. Why a car? Why 65mph? And if they must assume 65mph why does it not say "traveling at 65mph it would take you..."?
