Is my calculation correct?
35 years and it has reached 16.5 light hours from Earth with 11 billion miles travelled. The nearest star is 4.2 light years away. 4.2 light years is 23,478,854,400,000 miles if I did my math right.

What the Raiders fan has said is true, our customs are different. What Al Davis has said is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.
