(238857mi to the moon) x (5280 ft/mi) / 5ft (per short human)
= 252,232,992 5ft tall people to reach the moon.
but the world pop has 6.798 billion.
theres way more than enough people to reach the moon!

If everyone had their pants down they could be mooning as they reached their goal too.

well theres 6 billion+ people multiply that by 5 would be 30 billion feet how far is the moon on average

There could be a line of 26 people, each with someone one standing on their shoulder, and theirs, and on and on, until reaching the moon. Mathematics may argue this point, but consider how inaccurate population statistics are. There is most likely a 1-3%, or greater total population, than census records show. I could have said 25 and be correct by mathematics, but I'll say 26 to account for error.

I like the pants-down-moon-the-moon-answer.. is there possibly enough people to reach Uranus to?

Yes, but there would be no survivors. The bottom ones get crushed until their corpses can take the rest into outer space and to the moon, and all of them suffocate.

Nope. The line would only go up to about 5 people before the weight would crush the bottom person. :)
