"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message link.net... "Casey Wilson" wrote in message . .. Only 120,000 more feet straight up and they've made the first qualifying flight for the $10 million X-Prize. That would leave them about 8000 feet short of the requisite 100 km. Nope, it would give them a 4,000 foot pad. Go back to sleep, McNicoll. Are you saying that 200,000 feet + 120,000 feet is more than 100 km, or are you saying that they went above 200,000 feet? It's not clear to me, and that's confusing because 100 km is 328083.99 feet. $ units 500 units, 54 prefixes You have: 100 km You want: feet * 328083.99 / 3.048e-06 You have: ^D $ -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ I must go down to do C again, to the ANSI C and the vi And all I ask is a shell script and a tar to store her by "C Fever", Paul Martin |
