you could take the veiw that having to switch back and forth between the main game veiw and the map/ stats screen/ inventory or whatever is less simple than just having that information on another screen...
I remember once reading a book on basic electronics which had plans for a simple radio transmitter. It included a disclaimer that suggested that by linking the aerial of the transmitter to the aerial of the reciver you could avoid violating the regulations.
I know it seems overly simplistic, but would it get you off the hook?
You could ask some astronomers, but you'd likely get a different answer from any two you asked.
During some research for some recent coursework I've found values from just beyond the orbit of Pluto (from people who think Pluto is a planet) out to around 2 light years (half the distance to the next star)!
It's hard to define hard and fast conventions for classifying features in a solar system when we've only got one to study in any detail.

see here for details
it does!
type "100 feet in meters" into google and see what happens.
Its only designed to fly suborbitaly, the forces involved here are much less than those encountered when re-entering from orbit.

Porting linux shouldn't be to hard, its just sourcing backwards spinning mini dvd-r's that could cause problems.
