A piece of paper has a thickness of 0.1mm. Folding it in half doubles it. Folding that in half doubles that. So a simple equation to get the total thickness in 43 folds is 0.1x2^43 which gives us 879,609.302 kilometers. The moon is only 384,400 kilometers away.
tl;dr This is actually correct. It could even be done in only 42 folds.
