(384,467 km mean distance from the Earth to the Moon)6
= 9256 journeys to the Moon
9256 / 2 = 4628 journeys ‘to the Moon and back’

One metric tonne = 1000kg
Therefore 0.94 tonnes food per person = 940 kg per person
11 stone = 69.85 kg ;
940 kg person-1
69.85 kg
= 13.457 ‘people’
i.e. more than 13 times their own body weight
