'Nuff Said

Yesterday, a 50 meter one went by only 18,000 miles away. That sounds far if you're driving to the supermarket or even cross country, but compared to a journey to the nearest star, for example, it's very, very close indeed.

Oh, and the answer to the question is: Not that well. We haven't even been back to the moon in over 40 years and it's less than 250,000 miles away. Just around the corner, really.
