Did you visit the grand canyon if you did not go to the bottom but only stood on the rim?

Yes. Did you visit it if you flew over it on a commercial flight?

Much more similar to a chartered helicopter flight, which are quite popular at the Grand Canyon.

Maybe if that helicopter were flying 18x higher than the International Space Station.

Well the brochure did state the the helicopter tours and views were “out of this world” so no refunds.

I guess that depends on how much bigger the moon is than the Grand Canyon.

Well great now my brain is going to waste the next 30 minutes unsuccessfully trying to conceive a joke about mooning, the size of the Grand Canyon, and the size of Uranus.
