Also only eight minutes away, for the last four billion years.
Gravitic containment works.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoIt would only be eight minutes away if we also had warp capability.
- deciplex 11y agodmckeon might be referring to the time needed to achieve LEO. That's how I read it.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoOh I thought it was a reference to the fact that the Sun's (about 8 light-minutes away) been doing fusion at stable rate due to it's enormous gravity this whole time. Maybe I misunderstand what is meant by gravitic containment?
- deciplex 11y agoNo I think you're right, reading it again.
- monochromatic 11y agoThe sun is eight light-minutes away.
- deciplex 11y agoYes, and? That's hardly a secret.
- monochromatic 11y agoYou seemed confused when you were talking about the time to get to LEO. I was just clarifying what I thought the "eight minutes away" comment referred to.
