What's the fastest can ever take your Scirocco? - more numbers

Pleeeeze don't take this discussion off the list!!

Being a little bit of an amateur astronomer and a science nerd I love this 
subject (although I don't have enough brain cells to comprehend it most of 
the time).
This has probably been the most informative and entertaining post I have 
ever come across.

Thanks Aaron for a better understanding of a piece of Einsteins relativity!
