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!
At 186,000 miles per second that is about 6,000,000,000,000 miles per year. The nearest star (Alpha Centauri) is 8 ligh â¦ t years away, or 48,000,000,000,000 miles away, so it would take 8 years if you could travel at the speed of light. Current spacecraft speeds after leaving earth and boosted by other planets are at a maximum of 100,000 miles per hour.
