'kinell! Its one thing reading a figure but when you see it like that... :-O

Saying that though, the nearest star to our own solar system is 3.97 × 10 to the power of 13 km away. Now that's a big figure!

We did something about that at school.

Something like the earth on the centre spot of a football field with the Moon just about touching and Pluto near the goal posts meant the nearest star apart from the Sun B)smk was several miles away.

1100 years to fly around that star in a jet....just to find the weathers sh!t when you get there. :wall:

It can make you wonder how significant we are in just this galaxy alone. but rest assured you are known. :)

I found another video that makes me wonder if some who are in power 'here' really care about he ones who will come after us.

now after you watch that. consider that the amount they show in the end will actually be about 10 times that if the programs
under discussion now are signed into law. for just Our country alone.

What do we put our hope in?
