      They’re getting within 6500km of the surface, after travelling 385.000km. So they’re going 98.3% of the way to the moon.

      So that’s like going from Beijing to the grand canyon, and staying in the western suburbs of Las Vegas.

      I drove over the Mississippi river, at 9pm. It was dark and didn’t see anything. I’ve never experienced the Mississippi River just like this is not an experience of flying to the moon. They got close but still working on actually getting there.
