It looks like CNN has some real geniuses running their on-screen graphics.

What is that - like Warp 6?

Guess they've been busy out there at Area 51.

Does that mean the Columbia went into the past? At that speed, how quickly would it move back in time?

I think warp factors are the cube root of the multiple of the speed of light, so 18 times the speed of light is, uh, about Warp 2.62. I think.

(I'm very, very scared that I remember that...)

Are you sure the word "arrived" wasn't "came" in the original? Think about it -- it is a Limerick.

Well Fox has it's problems too. Whoraldo started his show last night asking why they didn't have time to inspect the tiles while they were docked at the space station for two weeks.

Just did some rough calculations.
186,000 miles per second, times 18, times 60 to be a minute then times 60 again to be an hour...

12,052,800,000 mph.

Gives the term "hauling A$$" a whole new meaning. LOL
