is that really the approx. speed needed to circumnavigate the Moon in 30 days? Or is this somewhere conveniently nearer the poles :)

- inglor_cz 3y agoThe Moon is about a quarter of the Earth in size (not in weight!), so its equator should be ~ 10 thousand km long. 30 days are ~ 720 hours. Yeah, 15 km/h should do it even on the lunar equator. Ofc the terrain isn't exactly flat, so even 15 km/h might translate into a very bumpy ride.
