Simply amazing, and yet, it's not simple at all. It boggles my puny mind as I think about all (ok, not all) the possibilities, and I become totally lost in thought.

Thanks.

Speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.

I found a scale model showing the speed of light between the earth and moon. I estimated that the gas bullets would take between 15 minutes and a half hour depending on the moons orbit.

That's some boogying speed. Now just imagine getting suck by one - even if it's only a few grams. Ker-SPLAT!

I find I fall asleep really fast when I'm tune in to Coast to Coast these days, unfortunately in some instances way quiicker than I'd like to, and Yes, the possibilities are pretty much limitless, lost in thought.. Oh Yeah, deep thinker blues.. been there done that. :-)
