And the moon was 17 times closer to the Earth than it is now! You'd have needed air tanks and maybe a full environmental suit to appreciate it for more than a few seconds though.

Somewhere between 25 and 26 would be perfect for me.

Nothing quite like a 14 hour work day becoming the norm.

Does this mean the hours in a day are getting longer?
