Interstellar travel may take a while.

I had an astronomy teacher at my first college in Massachusetts give an excellent demonstration on astronomical size.

He used a volleyball to represent the sun, then placed pebbles at increasing intervals to represent the planets and their orbits.

As I recall, Pluto was a tiny rock that was placed a 1/4 mile away.

He then asked the class where the nearest star would be in relation to the "Sun".

Most (not me, I said D.C.) guessed a few miles.

The answer: Reno.

Coworkers: I wouldn't want to live in Europe. Have you ever seen what their taxes are like?

Me: Have you ever seen what they do with their taxes?

They should have a bouncy castle inside first class. That way, turbulence would be fun.

Whatever one desires, it's likely out there in Internet Land.
