As of 11 a.m., the Phoenix spacecraft is 365,000 miles from Earth and speeding along at 12,300 mph relative to Earth.

Since it’s launch at 5:26 a.m. EDT, the craft has traveled 2,180,000 miles or nearly half the way to the moon’s orbit. There’s 420 million miles left to go.


The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from earth, unless my Meyer’s is out of date.
