@gsuberland where's the spacecraft right now? I have no intuition for how long it takes to get to the moon and back

According to https://mastodon.art/@ratfactor/116332758623158165 , it should take about 5 days one way?

@dcoderlt @gsuberland huh! way longer than I thought, I assumed it'd be one or two days tops each way

@halcy @dcoderlt I don't think it's a full 5 days each way, iirc the whole mission is only supposed to be about 10 days

@halcy @dcoderlt looking closer I think it's a bit under 4 days travel on the return leg, I think a smidge faster on the way out
