    This is the one I downloaded. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33679603/

    Voyage across the solar system with Professor Brian Cox and explore the new discoveries, natural wonders and strange mysteries on the diverse worlds that orbit the sun.

    I guess I linked the wrong one. :facepalm: This program was produced by WGBH, which is solely responsible for its content.

    I read those words on a screen, and I know what those words mean, but I cannot exactly comprehend that sentence

    Like, does it stop? If it's consuming everything in it's vicinity at 40x faster than we thought possible, then in however many billion years could it consume earth?

    Even if this were possible our solar system would be long dead.

    they’re not vacuums, we’re moving away from it so I doubt there’s any chance of that even over infinite time

    So it got there in 10 years.
    Did it take that long to send the images back..? Or did it just get close enough to send em back, or how did that work?

    It got there in 10 years, May of 2014. They received photos as early as July of that year. Then received more photos and data through 2015 when it finally actually landed on the comet. They sporadically received more data until it lost all power in 2016.

    The sixth flight test of Starship is targeted to launch Tuesday, November 19. The 30-minute launch window will open at 4:00 p.m. CT.

    A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 30 minutes before liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app. As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to check in here and stay tuned to our X account for updates.
