Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Space is huge, and the distances involved are far beyond normal human experience. On Earth, if your car breaks down on a country road, you can reasonably expect a rest stop or a gas station within 50 km (ca. 30 miles). Space, however, is not like that country road. If you set your space RV in a randomly-selected trajectory and continue going straight until you get within 50 million kilometers of a star, the chances are astronomically high that you will reach the edge of the galaxy, keep going, and never enter another galaxy... ever. On the off chance you do stumble across a star system, the sheer amount of fuel required to correct your course, match the speed of the star system (since it, too, moves through space), find a safe planet to land on, enter its orbit, and touch down safely would be far too great for your jalopy of a ship to handle. |
