Photons DO have mass. Don't confuse stationary mass, which is zero for photons and mass during movement. And there is no such thing as stopped photon. Photons have mass all the time.

How about calculating the environmental damage done by printing this stupid book?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

I bought the Celestron's FirstScope just a few days ago. Tough it's more expensive than Galileoscope, I would say it worth the extra.

Yes, but... does it runs Linux? Because it's official now, Linux is bloated, as Linus stated.

That's totally unrealistic. You cannot point at Pluto, accelerate and wait a few years to get there. Pluto, like Earth, revolves around the Sun, you have to consider that to, in a realistic environment. Check the Orbiter space simulator, for instance, you'll get the idea.

The Quake 2 fan-made map of NCC-1701-D remains, by far, the best Star Trek game experience I've ever encounter. It had the bridge, captain's room, working transporter pads, a sickbay, Jeffries tubes and if you shot the warp core in engineering, the ship will blow up and game over.
