The pithy ruminations from Walt Mankowski on 
<Re: [PLUG] "Nearby"> were:
=> Sure, given current technology we're not going to get there anytime
=> soon, but on the scale of the universe, it's practically next door.

If the Apollo 11 crew had headed to those planets instead of the moon,
they'd have gotten there, done their 21.5 hours of exploration and now
they'd be 20% of their way home already.
