If all goes to plan, tomorrow night, a spacecraft with four astronauts will start its mission toward the moon - the first time since 1972. To illustrate the journey, we set out with a simple yet crazy idea: Let’s show this journey to scale. Here's the result: www.zeit.de/wissen/2026-...

Beautiful work! I spotted one small thing - it says they will walk on the moon?

That's lost in the translation. The sentence says: "The astronauts are the first humans of the 21st century to have flown to the moon."

Really strange, this is a straight-up hallucination; there's no word resembling walking anywhere in the original.
