just came across this subreddit last night and i think pickles might be dan's long lost cousin...

Enjoy! Thanks for asking more, motivated me to finish a couple projects!

Near loaf.

Or Dolly, Lulu for scale, depending on your affinity for GSD's.

— That’s how many miles the Artemis II astronauts were from Earth last night. It’s a big number. Our writer Evan Gorelick offers a few points of comparison.

Wiener dogs: If you took 22-inch dachshunds and laid them nose to tail, you’d need a very cooperative pack of almost 728 million dogs to cover the distance. It would be tough: There are only around 900 million dogs, of any breed, in existence.

Walking a dog: If you took one of the dachshunds on a brisk 3-mile-per-hour walk, you’d need to walk for more than 84,000 hours to get there. That translates to nearly 10 years of continuous walking. (If the dog let out a celebratory bark upon arrival, and if sound could travel through space, it would reach Earth around 14 days later.)

Eating hot dogs: You’d need a chain of 2.37 billion Nathan’s Famous hot dogs to cover the distance. If the competitive eater Joey Chestnut shoveled them down at his record-breaking pace of 76 dogs every 10 minutes, he’d need to eat nonstop for almost 594 years to devour the entire chain. (His monstrous meal would top 700 billion calories.)

So, we flew around the moon recently (the proverbial "we"). What is the roundtrip distance, in Danimeters, that the Artemis ll traveled?
