[DeTomaso] Any Kiwi Panteras?

Bummer.  "

Zeroes were not a problem when I went to school.  Now where did I leave
that dang slide rule.

     The attachment is a map of the entire "visible" universe. Our little

     of 300-500 billon stars. Kepler is only one telescope and talks
     about only what it sees. Scientists think there are
     at least 1 in 10, (maybe much more) solar systems around our
     galaxies stars. You can do the math.
     Now think about the entire universe. They guess there are 380 billon
     large galaxy's, and 7 trillion dwarf galaxy's.
     Large galaxy's have 100 trillion stars and dwarf galaxy's have 100m
     to 10billon stars.A  You can do the math.
     Wait!A  You can't because your calculator will never hold that many

     Fun Fact.
     I also talk about the Trappist-1 solar system.A  It has the richest
     set of earth-like planets. 7 all in the habitable zone.
     It is 40 light years away. How long would it take to get there?A  If
     your Pantera could travel at 38,000mph (same as
     Voyager 1 or Musk's Tesla), it would take you ~700,000 years to get
