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!
Consider the speed of light. Light, the fastest thing known, takes only 8 minutes to travel to us from the sun, but requires more than four years to get to the nearest star. A handgun bullet travels at 720 miles per hour, but would take nearly 4 million years to get to the nearest star. The fastest object ever launched into space is the Voyager 1 probe, and it would take nearly 75,000 years to make the trip. Todayâs chemical rockets are far too slow for interstellar travel.
