The Moon is 384,400 km away from Earth. If you took every elephant on Earth and stacked them one atop another most of them would die.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say all of them would die for one reason or another.

    Also, my first experience with the internet back in 1994 was a page of elephant jokes, I feel I’ve come full circle now.

    There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system

    It's hard to imagine any of them would live. I guess one near the top might survive by using the flood of elephant pieces to slow their fall. But an elephant can't survive a ~10 foot fall. That's about 2 elephants tall, and the bottom two or the ones I am most confident are dying in this.
