While they make great chairs for the elderly, a Geri-Chair is ideal for use in clinical situations where comfort seating is important. This may include areas where dialysis or chemo are being provided, in same-day surgery and OB/GYN clinics or in environments providing post-op, cardiac or outpatient care.
The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!
The shuttle does 17,000 mph and the probe we have going to Pluto is doing about 40,000 mph. To go a light year at shuttle speed would take about 32000 years.o it takes an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light. This has been proven by Cyclotrons which are magnetic pipes with a radius of 1 mile. They put electrons in them and spin them faster and faster until they reach 0.9999 of speed of light.
