[DeTomaso] Very, very NPC - Definition of Ins. EE response

[Dave Londry]

Heck I don't have any excuse John.
I had the units wrong, 210 is about the galactic number in km/sec (230 
km/sec = 144 mi/sec)
It's only the millionthth time I've forgotten a unit conversion.
The wikipediacs think you're pretty conservative too.
