    Lithium is a heavy metal, like lead

    Nope. Here's a definition of metals, alkali metals and heavy metals and here is the SG of Lithium.

  4. 7.9 billion km by underpar · · Score: 1 · on Messenger En Route To Mercury

    Mercury is at most 222 hundred thousand kilometers from earth. Messenger is traveling 7.9 billion km.

    I know that there is no other good way to get it there, but I just find that interesting. I hope it has something good to read on the trip.

  5. Re:I'm impressed by KevinKnSC · · Score: 1 · on X43-A on to Mach 10
    At mach 10 you won't get there in your lifetime.

    Au contraire:
    Mach 10 = 3.4029 km/s
    Max Earth-Neptune distance: 4,686,510,980 km
    4,686,510,980 km / (3.4029 km/s) = 43.6421121 years

    So, while he'd definitely not make it back in his lifetime (let alone the six minutes he spoke of), he could make it there in his lifetime at Mach 10.
