as far as i read a paper can be folded only 7 times. so that means it will never reach the moon... unfortunately

arcadiouse · Answer

Yes it will.   Actually, theoretically it can.

arcadiouse · Answer

In real life, no.

arcadiouse · Answer

42 times.   Each time you fold paper it doubles it's thickness.
