Folding paper can get you to the moon??

Check out this awesome TedTalk video about how folder paper can get you to the moon...

1. How many times can you fold a paper? Try until the paper gets too small to be folded any further

2. Define exponential growth. How does it work?

3. How many times do I have to fold a piece of newspaper to get 0.008 inches if the original height of my newspaper is 0.002 inches high?
