How many chocolate bars to reach the moon?
Oreo cookies are 1.75 inches in diameter.The distance between the Earth and her Moon is 225,291 miles (at apogee [the closest distance]).So: If Oreo cookies could be laid side-by-side into space, it would take 36,206 of them to equal 1 (one) mile.Multiplying 225,291 (distance in miles at apogee) by six times there and back (actually, that's 12 trips) would equal 2,703,492 miles.Multiplying that by 36,206 cookies equals -a LOTof cookies!
