Fold paper 42 times and it could reach the Moon

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Due to the incomprehensible, massive power of exponential mathematical growth, repeatedly folding an object causes its thickness to double fiercely. If you could somehow miraculously take a standard sheet of printing paper and physically fold it directly in half just forty-two times, the massive resulting stack would physically stretch over 238,000 miles, forcefully grazing the dark lunar surface.
