Yeah, those of us that are science geeks know.
It is achingly slow.

Bah. Galileo, the first to seriously attempt to measure the speed of light in 1638 disagrees. And I quote:
"If not instantaneous, it is extraordinarily rapid."

Handy-Dandy guide to determining if someone understands how BIG space is.
Suggest we shoot our garbage in to the sun. If they balk at the sun reacting (rather than launch error), they have zero idea of the scale of space.

There was a young woman named Bright
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

If something is approaching at the speed of light, we should see it coming. So why can’t we see light coming? < ducks>

Traveling at the speed of light a spaceship hitting something as small as a grain of rice would cause an explosion of nuclear magnitude.

Great post. I’ve said the same here on FR and received angry responses.
The speed of light also limits clock rate and the size of computers.
