  We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because we are HARD.
  -Alternate reality JFK >
  
  Thank you for the amazing laugh. >
  
  Question is what length OP used for measurement, and whether flaccid or HARD. As JFK eloquently implied, if it’s HARD we would likely be able to make it back. >
  
  Sorry chief but I'm not gonna be able to contribute much to this bridge >
  
  We are gonna need every inch we can get son. >
  
  Who said anything about an inch? >
  
  Even half an inch shall have to contribute to this greatest human endeavor. >
  
  Gayest human endeavor ftfy >
  
  They didn’t say they needed your body…. 
  …just the dick ✂️ >
  
  So anyone chopping 4 billion dicks and placing them in a row is not in the gayest human endeavor ever.
  Well you’re right, I have to correct this: any male, not anyone >
  
  What if the women built it though >
  
  So thats what theyre doing in the bathroom >
  
  NEVER in my life have I EVER thought about a bridge of dicks, let alone how many it would take to get to the moon,  thank you for this poignant imagery OP.  You’ve expanded my horizons. >
  
  Now whenever you see a river or 2 buildings far apart you’ll think “I wonder how many dicks to bridge that?” >
  
  Dude, perfect name for this thread. >
  
  r/councilworkers “how many dicks to bridge that?” >
  
  Why kind of bridge?  Are we talking about a tenuous “arch” of end-to-end dicks to the moon, or one that is built using structural members (joists, etc.) that use dicks as a material. 
  Is it paved with dicks as well? And if so, how wide is the dick road?  Is it a walking bridge or wide enough for a vehicle? >
  
  You, Sir, are asking the important questions. If i remember correctly, there is a section in "What if?!" on a similar endeavor... building a bridge of Lego bricks to cross the Atlantic. If you wanna make the math, it bears some excellent calculations on this. (If we assume dicks as similarly integral to Lego bricks, that is.) >
  
  Last time I checked, dicks do not have connector parts. Yes, one end is barbed, if you will, but they’re not going to just connect to one another. I’m not convinced of the structural integrity of this Moon-Dick Bridge >
  
  Me neither, I wanna see the architects plans before I agree to contribute. >
  
  I was so sure that could not be the case I had to do the math on this...
  About 3.95 billion men in the world with average penis size of 13.16cm and yep all the way to the moon and about ~~half~~  a third of the way back... >
  
  We can get about halfway back by adding clitoris >
  
  I really want the plural form of clitoris to be clitori >
  
  Clitoruses >
  
  I thought you said clitchorus >
  
  But is there enough dicks on the moon to build a man to the earth? >
  
  "Bridge" is pretty generous for what would be a one dick  thick tether. >
  
  Men claim it reaches the moon. In reality, it only gets about halfway there. >
  
  Erect or flaccid? >
  
  Hard or not hard, coz there is subtle difference between them. >
  
  Considering Nixon was president during the moon launches and signed appropriations for NASA to do so, apparently it only took one Dick to get to the moon. >
  
  Ummm, it's a bridge you can go both ways on it.
  Sounds like a rejected r/jokes post. >
  
  With average world dick size X number of men in the world, the math checks out with boners to spare! Way to go guys, our dicks are more than satisfactory!! >
  
  yeah but the only person able to ride that many dicks is yer mum >
  
  Average penis length globally: 5 inches (little more but we'll go with 5)
  Current population of Earth: 7.888 billion
  Assume 50% male: 3.944 billion
  Times 5 inches: 19.72 billion inches
  Divided by 12: 1.6433333333 billion feet
  Divided by 5,280: 311,174 miles
  Average distance from the Earth to the moon: 238,900 miles
  So we can make approximately 1.3 dick-bridges to the moon. >
  
  🎵 Where were you, when they were building a dick bridge to the moon 🎵 >
  
  Yeah, someone already tried that. >
  
  Yeah wtf, you’re the only person I’ve seen mention this in the whole thread. >
  
  Like every kind of animal dick or strictly human penises? 
  Does this theory factor in the coldness of space as well? >
  
  If you're counting on mine to help get there, you might fall a bit short...
  Story of my life. >
  
  Strength in numbers amigo >
  
  Africa will get us 3 quarters there. China will be about 20 feet. >
  
  Or we can build it out of two random pieces of yo' mama's underwear. >
  
  Yo’ mama’s clit counts as a dick. >
  
  Disappointed to report that I don't have much to contribute to that. >
  
  You'd think, but wouldn't quite make it. Sorry OP, I blame myself due to the fact that I have a small, small dick. Sorry OP, sorry everyone,  it's my fault 😔 >
  
  Nows not the time to be soft lads, it's gonna be a hard road to the moon so stand to attention and let's get this dick bridge built! >
  
  You really sat there and thought about how many dicks it would take to reach the moon heh? 👏 >
  
  And is this while soft? >
  
  Does this include those men being inside each other or like what are the logistics of this? >
  
  Is there though? Did you do the math or just a shower thought haha >
  
  I’m actually kind of curious about this. Cause not every penis is attached to a man, and not all men have a penis, so if we’re using exclusively male penises how far would we get? >
  
  Of all places, I read this in reader's digest when I was a kid. 
  How many poles does it take to reach the stars?
  Sigh. One if it's long enough. >
  
  This obviously doesn't include me because if it did there would be a return bridge. >
  
  Considering the moon is about 238,000 miles away so 15,079,680,000inches and there are about 3.97 billion males, and the average length is 5.17, that’s about 20, 524,900,000 inches so ya you can make it to the moon, except when you factor the fact that they would be flaccid which brings it down to a 3.12 inch average and then you only get 12, 386,400,000 which is not enough. Therefore some guys are gunna need to be hard >
  
  There are about 4 billion men on Earth. The average flaccid penis is 9cm in length but let's say 10 cm.
  that's 4 billion * 10 cm
  =400,000,000 * 100cm
  =40,000,000* 1 meter
  =40,000 kilometers
  Earth to moon average distance is 384,000 kilometers
  I think you're off by a factor of 10.... (unless I got my math wrong)
  The average hard penis is 13cm so even that is not going to work. >
  
  🎶Moon dick-bridge, longer than a mile, I'm watching you in style 🎶 >
  
  what if dick was the last to pick from the the application method made it so you couldnt undo the other without undoing alllll of them. and ur little pen just barely scraped the surface of the moon. maybe a mm between it and the moon ur precum would bridge the gape >
  
  Space is really, really cold. That reduces bridge length to 1/6. Have you factored that in? >
  
  More like a bridge of dicks to your mom! Am I right? Lol OK I'll show myself out >
  
  Can you not just slide back down the willy bridge that you've just made? >
  
  Like a full on walkable, truck supporting bridge? Or more of a rope? >
  
  Gentlemen, we can build it. We have the technology. We have the capacity to build the world's first dick bridge to the moon. We will all be the bridge >
  
  Too many unknown variables to approve this… what are we talking here? End-to-shaft, side-by-side, or… and are we talking attached dicks or not attached? Importantly, are we considering ambient temperature or fixed temperatures? It gets quite cold once you leave the atmosphere. >
  
  Again Africans contributing the most and Japanese contributing the least for the wholesome project. >
  
  The math checks out boys. Time to make the sacrifice to build a dick bridge to the moon. >
  
  Every space elevator looks like a giant cock. It cannot be a coincidence! >
  
  Just because something can be done doesn’t mean we should cut lots of dicks off. >
  
  Honestly, some men need their dick confiscating, so I’ma vote yes on this prop. >
  
  I am SO disturbed by this mental image. Was in a blue once and introduced to the “slurp ramp”. Bridge of dicks to the Moon. GAWD where’s my mental floss?! >
  
  The average penis is approximately five inches long.
  There is approximately 3.97 billion men in the world.
  If we multiply those two numbers, there's around 19 billion inches of penis on Earth.
  The distance between the Earth and the Moon is \~238k miles, being that there's 63,360 inches in a mile, that means that the distance to the Moon in inches is around 15 billion inches.
  OP is correct, we could build a bridge to the moon exclusively using dicks.
