Ok shortest distance earth moon surface: 340 000 km.

  2. Diameter Uranus: 51 000 km
  3. Diameter Neptun: 49 500 km
  4. Venus: 12 000 km
  5. Mars: 6 800 km
  6. Mercury: 4 800 km

Is 116 500 km, so we're missing the mark with a little more than 43 000 km.

Well 340 is the shortest distance of the orbit

True! But that was also what you used 😜 I looked up the average distance though, which seems to be 385 000 km. Which means we would fit everyone with about 2 000 km to spare 😃
