Oh, the first time I read this I had a completely wrong idea what it was about. I thought it was talking about like the Dalai Lama having being reincarnated or something.
Same. I was wondering how we count the number of people who claim to have been reincarnated.
More like 24. Low Earth Orbit is just hanging out in the porch. :)
That’s under a thousand isn’t it? :P
Touché!
And https://xkcd.com/893/ is arriving.
But how many people have escaped the influence of Earths gravity altogether? None?
You would never escape the influence of Earth’s gravity, as far as I know.
From what I understand everything in the universe has a slight gravitational effect no matter the distance, it’s just that the effect get infinitesimally small, but never reaching zero.
Right. The farthest people have been is the Moon, which is still gravitationally bound to the Earth. Plenty of spacecraft have been out of Earth’s gravity well, and also a car, but no humans.
What do you mean? I thought the car had an astronaut suit in the drivers seat containing the dessicated corpse of the real Elon Musk, after being murdered, memory-absorbed, and doppelganger-ed by the current version.
That would explain a lot
If that were the case the current version would have a goatee.
