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.

Just so you know, GIRL is currently 397,906,935m long, and her length is made up of the combined total of the reported lengths of every BOY in the world. Much like you suggest, they will either require a hell of a lot of people to download the game to add more length, or the scale will have to be flubbed. Currently, it appears that they intend no flubbing, but I'm sure we'll see.
