  • Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light years way: too far to travel. Why don't we just use Mercury (which has an 88 day year) as a staging ground, and launch from there?




    Mercury's year is only 88 days, so if we launch a rocket from there, we only have to travel for just over 1 light year, saving time and fuel.

    Godzilla's Family Vlog Review - Episode 6



    This review went a little bit meta, on account of the fact that I feature both as the reviewer and also as a subject of Godzilla's sixth weekly Family Vlog itself. So ultimately, I end up reviewing an episode with me in. Clearly the bits with me in were the best.

    This checkin to GLBJHQQG Ladybarn Canal reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Harder than I might have expected to navigate my way around the winding paths and alleyways surrounding this courtyard - I found myself within 10 metres of the cache at one point, but on the wrong side of โ€ฆ
