Comunicating with Martains game

[flyinlow]

While most of you are on the planet earth, how long does it take to talk to someone elsewhere.

I will start, the next poster types the next number and posts, etc. This simulates time delays to the moon or mars.

How long does it take to get to 100?

Ok , six round trip communications in about 18 hours.  You could be on Jupiter's moon Europa and make six round trips by radio in that time.

Them folks on Europa are so living in our past. (our point of view).
We are the ones living in "real time". --- Everyone in all directions are yesterdays news to us. --So we must be current.

The star Vega is 25 light years away. If the Mopar Guys living on a planet orbiting Vega received the TV commercials about the new 1968 Dodge Charger ( in the fall of 1992) and decided to order one, Chrysler should get that order this fall by radio.

Vega send chills down my spine. Never owned a Galaxy or a Europa, but either one has to be better than a Vega. I once owned a Satellite and I wish (upon a falling star) that I still had it.

The data will be flawed. You are exceeding the finger and toe limit our members.

So a confirmation of the order will be sent with the revised options (and cars) that ---can be ordered --today-- earth time.  With (perhaps) a deposit required to secure the order understanding that --destination charges-- are subject to change due to the time delay issues with communication.

Note to customer on vega----send -HUGE- deposit with next transmission for order.  We will deliver to you what that deposit will cover and that comes with a life time warranty that your local dealer will comply with.

Did you see the announcement of finding habitable planets around Trappist-1, ~40 light years away, so their orders are still in transit.

I just read that Trappist-1 is the ultracool star (really!  that is what it is called).  

I think it is an orange dwarf, which is supposed to be even cooler than red dwarf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrNLLvAokO8&vl=en

And yes that craft is propelled by a light bulb with a square piece of tape over it.
