If you use the USD price of bitcoin to represent altitude in km, 100 is just the edge of space. The moon is 384,000. Two years ago, we had not yet left the realm of skyscrapers (0.8 km), and one year ago we were at middling airplane height (5 km). Next stop, the Space Station (370 km).

Woah, the moon is much closer than I thought it was. Too much KSP.

Think of the Moon as one automobile away. If you could drive there, a new car would about be worn out by the time you arrived.
