Does This NASA Video Show a Spaceship Near Planet Mercury?

It currently takes 216 days to reach mars which is 0.0000059193311 light years away. 216 days = 0.69097222 years (assuming 1 year = 365.25 days for leap years). At this speed it would take 0.69097222/0.0000059193311 * 600 = 7,003,883 or around 7 million years. This assumes we reach the same speeds while carrying enough fuel to last 7 million years, which we can't. A planet that is 600 light-years away will probably NEVER be traveled to without help from something like wormholes, but it's very likely that even if wormholes exist, we couldn't survive traveling through them. Also I would like to add that I've heard from a college physics professor that even if we had the technology to propel something near the speed to light then even collisions with hydrogen atoms (which exist even in interstellar space) would tear apart pretty much anything.

He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person’s worldview upside-down with one jarring remark. Even today his words remain controversial. Here are 40 unsympathetic statements from the man himself. 1. INTJ Profile. Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judgingby Marina Margaret Heiss Profile: INTJ Revision: 3.1 Date of Revision: 17 Oct 2009 To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence.

This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age.

Because of the constant buzz in our technological world, it's easy to forget how important communicating face-to-face is. When conversing old-school style, it's not only speech we verbalize that matters, but what our nonverbal gestures articulate as well. Body language is truly a language of its own.
