26000 miles is less than three planet diameters.

Diameters??????? Which planet?

Rich W.


Earth.


The earth's diameter is about 7,926 miles, so 26,000 miles would be a bit
more than three diameters, if we want to pick nits.

Doh! My apologies, Richard. For some stupid reason I read it to mean *one*
diameter was 26,000 - not three. Must not have been on top of my game as
evidenced by typing W instead of S.

That's it! Maybe I didn't type it. Yeah! My evil twin Rich W. did it. Whew.
