If you took the DNA from one of your cells, uncoiled it and placed the strands end to end, it would measure 6 ft. If you did this for all of your DNA, the resulting strand would be 67 billion miles long. That's long enough to wrap around Earth more than 2 million times. 
Or you could send it to the moon and back 150,000 times.
Voyager 1 has been traveling at a rate of 38,000 mph for the past 40 years and is the most distant human-made object. It's traveled 13.8 billion miles in that time. It will take another 200 years for Voyager 1 to travel farther than your DNA is long.
So if you ever find yourself out there feeling small or insignificant, remember that you are not. You're just incredibly well folded.
This is Photo 51 by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. It’s the first image of DNA and the X shape they captured confirmed its double helix shape. They made the invisible visible, gave the first evidence of how the structure of life is built and revolutionized science
For those who prefer metric units and don’t want to do their own conversions, 6ft is about 1.8 m, and 67 billion miles is
107,826,048,000 kilometers
