FTL and I'm stuck here,.
Created | Updated Mar 22, 2002
I WANNA GO HOME !!!!!
More and more I find myself buying astronomy-magazines and checking out the pictures... Just heard that they're busy somewhere breaking the lightspeed sending information from one place to another at 4.2 times the speed of light. Rescued finally ! Makes me wonder though, They can't send matter so a message will have to do. Now let's see..Say it takes them 5 years to complete the investigation and it takes me another five years to build/buy/steal one. Add the 1 year(5 lightyears divided by 4.2) for the message to arrive and presto ; they send out a ship to come and pick me up.
But hold on, when I got stuck here there were a great many Vogons on Alpha Centauri...so let's say that the message gets lost, gets found, blablabla and finally buried in peat, recycled and used as firelighters. That'l' take another mmphh..20 years...
Oh sh... Well it's back to the drawingboard.
