Quote:
You’re listening through time and, literally, space—to conversations held nearly five decades ago, between three men floating 238,000 million miles from home.

Wow - I never realised the moon was 238 billion miles away! D'Oh! | :doh: Laugh | :laugh:

Google suggests they meant 238,900 miles. But given Google also think an imperial pint is precisely 500ml, I'm not sure whether we can trust that result. Unsure | :~
