How much people do you need to reach the moon standing on each other shoulders?

comments (single view)

We only want the amount that we need, so we take the tallest person and assume that the moon is at its perigee (closest to the Earth).

Tallest person we have definite proof for was Robert Wadlow at 2.72 m tall, and at the moon’s perigee, it is 363,104,000 meters away from the Earth. Thus, if we revived Robert Wadlow and cloned him, we would need 133,494,117 clones in order to reach the moon.

I definitely did not accidentally post this on @bipha instead of my main account.

Now all I need is a cloning machine.
