So yeah, like basically it's out and back, right?

So it took about four days to get there, four days to get back.

They orbited the Earth for a little bit before they kind of checked everything before they headed off to the moon.

So yeah, it's pretty quick.

And given the size of this thing, there isn't a lot of room on board for food and consumables and other things.

So this is about how long moon missions last.

So quick.

But boy, did they go far.

The world record, right?

They went further than Apollo 13 from Earth.

So for a little while there, they were, I think the number, the official number from NASA is 406,771 kilometers at its furthest from Earth as it was rounding the moon when they were out of orbit.

When they were out of position.

The previous record was just over 400,000 from Apollo 13 in 1970.

So it's 10 times.

Does that make sense?

Exactly.

Now, of course, you would run out of oxygen if you tried that in a real car.

But yeah, it's very, very far.
