OF THE
TIMES
Then I asked Range Four Harry if they took this craft on long trips very often. He replied that he had taken it to and from the moon a few times, and to mars and back, once. However, he said that its propulsion system wasn’t very reliable and that he greatly preferred to use it only for short trips around the valley. He pointed out that all power system repairs had to be made from the outside, and that such repairs could only be performed properly when the craft was sitting inside a hanger. He also pointed out that the craft’s design did not leave him with any place to store
spare parts.
He said that he personally only felt comfortable traveling into space in a large craft with many spare parts and whose design allowed all repairs to be made from theSo, lets see:
inside. I asked him if this craft could exceed the speed of light. He replied yes, its design would enable it to travel much faster than the speed of light, but he was quite emphatic that no one with any common sense would use this craft to travel that fast because it was too poorly constructed. He said that the one time that he took it out to the planet mars, he had accelerated to 40 percent of the speed of light and he didn’t like the way it behaved so he slowed back down. He pointed out that even at 25 percent of the speed of light the craft is covering distance so fast that if anything goes
wrong, it would be too difficult for his friends to locate the craft in space. He said that the larger craft have many more safety features than this one. Features such as emergency beacons, backup power supplies, and so forth.
And John Travolta, apparently.
Phenomenal.
