Not just any old alcohol, but ETHYL alcohol, the kind we drink!
Must be a helluva party going on up there🙂

"Ten thousand light years from earth in a constellation far, far away, there is massive cloud of alcohol.
Discovered in 1995 near the constellation Aquila, the cloud is 1000 times larger than the diameter of our solar system. It contains enough ethyl alcohol to fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer. To down that much alcohol, every person on earth would have to drink 300,000 pints each day—for one billion years."

Originally posted by vivifyWell, Lovejoy is at least theoretically reachable in a few years time. The cloud is 10,000 light years away, and the best we can do even theoretically is 1/10 the speed of light so the journey would take 100,000 years. Doesn't do humans much good, eh. That is just one way. 200,000 years to get back after that giant drunk party🙂

By that time humans may have stopped drinking alcohol completely and they would start a new fad.....
oh, also, JC and the boys hadn't come back in the year 202,000 either......

Originally posted by sonhouseYes he did. And that Aircraft carrier sized space craft mysteriously flew into a super nova, otherwise called the lake of fire. But the cargo ended up at the wedding feast. 😉
