I think you would have to do that on skis presently. We’ve just had some of the coldest weather here in 30 years. :shock: :D

Food for thought perhaps on the scale of the universe.

For those of us who remember back then, next year Voyager will have been travelling through and out of the solar system for 50 years since launch. It will take 24 hours for signals to reach it and the same for us to receive its transmissions. One light day. The nearest star is about 4.5 light years from us.
