Excellent!!

As soon as we can hit a speed of 186,000 miles per second, we can be there in just 455 years !!

I too have discovered a small planet. Back in 2014 I peered into my telescope and accidentally discovered Planet Hillary. Sure, it won me a Nobel Prize. But I still have nightmares about it.

Complex orbital mechanics at play. There is an app on the Apple App Store called Orbit-Playing With Gravity .

Perhaps there is an unseen planetary body exerting its influence on the others…
