Love those old 50s movies, those 50s sci-fi movies, absolutely, yeah. The Dean's Pursuit still, of course there was that one, War of the Worlds. Yeah, great, great vintage entertainment, that is for sure. And, who knows, maybe it's a Death Star. Hey, you know, from this distance it almost looks like a Death Star. Of course, the thing that I keep pointing out to people is that if this is an alien spacecraft, traveling at 58 kilometers a second, and at its closest approach to the sun, I think it's supposed to get up to about 68 kilometers per second. If you're better at math than I am, I kept trying and I kept coming with this huge number, maybe I was right, I don't know, but if you're better at math than I am, a light year is 5.8 trillion miles, and if you're traveling at 58 kilometers a second, oh, 36 miles a second, that's right, it's also 36 miles. So if a kilometer is 5.8 trillion miles, you're traveling at 36 miles a second, how long will it take you to get to the next star system, however far that may be? These have to be very old, very old, and very patient aliens. I mean, you know, if anyone has solved how to deal with boredom, they have on the long journey. Back to you, Cash, have it, Pecayo. Thanks for watching!
