To figure out how many folds of paper it takes to get to the moon you first need to know how far away the moon is from earth. Next you need to do guess and checks of two to the guess and check power. The moon is approximately less then 250,000 miles, so doing guess and check I got that it would take 45 folds of a piece of paper to get to the moon, that is two to the 45th power, which equals just about 250,000 miles. This is unrealistic because just about 10 folds of a piece of paper is impossible, so there is no possible way to fold a single piece of paper 250,000 miles in the air. The thickness is the same as the height which is 250,000 miles, whether this matters I don't think it matters, I think the height matters so It can reach the moon.
