Moon Exploration

So, this is the moon's topography. From Wikipedia CC-the dark colors are deep holes and the red colors are hills or ridges.

Cars and Humans


One gallon of gasoline is 128 ounces. One gallon of gasoline 17-44 miles per gallon typically -- the last I heard -- which means (going with, say, 32 mpg) you will need 4 ounces of gas per mile as 4 times 32 is 128.

If you walked one mile, at 5 miles per hour, you would be walking about 12 minutes. Walking can burn 250 - 300 calories per hour if done briskly, 5 mph is a slightly brisk gait, in twelve minutes you will burn 50 to sixty calories, possibly, by walking this one mile.

When comparing these two sources of transversement (Christmas reminds me of transversing) , and if you replace the 4 ounces of gasoline with something suitable for people such as, milk, juice, cola, soup, candy or whole fruit, is there a similarity?

Milk skimmed: 80 calories per 8 oz., 10 calories per oz., |40 calories per 4 oz.
Applesauce: 1/2 cup has |60 calories
Mixed Vegetables with corn or peas have |40 calories per 4 oz.
Apples: 4 oz. have |60 calories
Fruit Cocktail has |60 calories per 4 oz.
Plain non-fat yogurt has |52 calories per 4 oz.
Cola: 4 oz. have |45 calories
Wine: 4 oz. have |75 calories, 3 oz. have 60
Wine Cooler: 4 oz. have |50 calories

1 oz of very lean pork, chicken, fish or beef is 35 calories so 1 1/2 oz is |52 calories
6- 10 nuts or 1 TB reduced fat margarine or salad dressing is |45 calories
2 TB coconut is |45 calories

I have always been curious how calories stacked up to gasoline.

8th Month Anniversary at Christmas

When Will There Be 7 Billion On Earth?

Population since Creation.
United States Census Site.


I am going to answer my own question, until someone comes up with a better idea.

According to this world clock/statistics counter, about one million a month means there should be 7 billion people living on earth in 9 years or less.
