It would take 42 "fold in halfs" for the stack to reach the moon. It is unrealistic because the paper would never let you fold that much (physically impossible). I am not sure exactly how wide it would be, but I can imagine it would be really thick and wide. The width would matter because the reason for it being impossible to do this is mostly based of the width needed to be shorter than its length.The distance between the moon to the earth is 384,000 km and if you were to fold the paper 42 times it would be a distance of 439,804 km. I got that by multiplying 0.01cm(page height)*2(folds)^384,000. At least that is what you are supposed to do, when I did the math it came out wrong so I graphed it instead.
