Yea, thats what I was wondering. And after that the distances become even more epic. I can't imagine that the game is actually to scale. But I suppose anything is possible. Our Great-great grandchildren may even get to Jupiter (approx 630 million Kilometers). I also assume that the game takes the closest points between orbits.
So: distance to moon is approx 382500 Km from earth. GIRL travels about 100,000 km/day (actually pretty impressive).
Time to reach Mars: taking 56 million Km as Mars's closest point.
56,000,000 / 100,000 = 560 days. Assuming constant rate of travel.
Time to reach Jupiter: 630,000,000/100,000 = 6300 days. Actually only about 17 years. Again assuming constant rate of travel.
Edit: Mars closest point is actually around 70 Million Km or 700 days at 100,000 km/day.
