That seems unlikely. The moon orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth.

Assuming a loaf is 15in/38cm long, that's ~10,000 loafs. Assuming True is 55 or 60, that's ~4 loafs a week. Maybe not an average person but given his figure it might be possible for him lol

Pretty sure your math is a little off. Like by several orders of magnitude.

You know what, yeah, I didn't comvernt km to cm. So like 4000 loafs a week?
