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."

I guess it’s really demonstrating how big space is!

"If not instantaneous, [the speed of light] is extraordinarily rapid."

Actually, the speed of light is ordinarily rapid.

Relative to a “vehicle” of his time (or even a modern day space vehicle) it was (is) extraordinarily rapid.

When compared to the universe, not so much.
