flying to the moon on a boeing 747

Earth Moon

Ever wondered how long it would take to fly to the moon from earth in a Boeing 747? .. Answer is ~ 17 days

What if you were traveling by car at 100Km/hr (62.1371 miles per hour)…. ~ 150 days!

What if you were sitting on a beam of light?… ~ 1.2 seconds

The moon is farther away from us than it seems to be.

* These are hypothetical scenarios meant to give you an idea of distance. Realistically speaking Boeing 747 (or for that matter any aircraft designed to fly in the earth’s atmosphere only) cannot  fly out in space. And we all know that cars cant fly (or can they?..). And lastly, our bodies cannot endure traveling at the speed of light… (ever wondered how it would feel like to travel at the speed of light?…. check out this video to learn more about that.)
