Oops.. my mistake...anyway now they say maybe around 2016... and if it goes as "smoothly" as the decision process on where to place it.... than 2030 is the more real date :).

Quote:Now, one thing i noticed with the sleeperships, if they traveled at 350KPH, like on Cruise engines it would have taken them.....let me do the math...114,285,714,285 years to get from Earth to Sirrus.......Man kind would be extinct by the time they got there lol
I thought cruise engines went 350 Meters per second? Not sure how that would affect your math... But I do know that 350 m/s is a whole lot faster than 350 km/h.
My biggest laugh is Sounds in space. If a shot hits your hull, ok , that might make a sound, but one passing by you would sound the same if you were to fly past, oh let's say, one of those noisy Mining Ships. Silent.
I am right in thinking sound cannot travel in a vacuum, right?

Right. I think the only science fiction TV series that accurately showed that was "Firefly."

As an example, the sun must became 500 times more massive (with the same diameter it has now) to become a black hole, and the earth diameter should be arround 0.1 milimeter to become a micro black hole.
