If you wanted to get into space and you had a car that could drive upward at 60 mph, you could get there in about an hour, according to astronomer Fred Hoyle.
But getting to the moon is another matter. The moon is 250,000 miles away, so it would be the equivalent of circling the earth 10 times. And that would take six months.
It's worth noting that your magical, upward-driving care would need a big fuel tank, since there would be no gas stations. And, of course, there is the matter of air. None.
