Yes, I thought that was a great site when I ran across it. It certainly makes it clear how much more sense it makes to do a lunar colony before trying a Mars colony...

I try to keep every car I buy running for one, “moon unit” before I get another. ~240,000 miles. It would take a lot of cars to drive to Pluto.

God created ALL this in the blink of an eye. With the ease and wonder of a small child scattering colorful marbles out on the floor.

Our God is so Powerful!

Yet there are galaxies measured at about 13 point-something LIGHT YEARS from Earth, one light-year being the *distance* light travels in a year as at its speed of 186,000 miles/sec. It works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles (ONE light year)

Cool page. Spent many minutes side-scrolling. As usual, I draw the line at Uranus.

Very cool. The one thing that stood out to me in all that empty space, there is plenty of room for parking.
