How Do You Travel Faster Than The Speed Of Light?
This eHow was published on April 1, 1999. We’ve decided to keep it for its humorous value. In a startling breakthrough, two undergraduate students at U.C. Santa Cruz have discovered a foolproof method for traveling faster than the speed of light. Their company, SpeedOfLight.com, has received $100 million in venture capital funding and plans to begin its first commercial flights in June 2001. Here’s how to reserve your ticket. Act fast if you want to be a part of history. Only 300 tickets will be available for the first flight. Visit SpeedOfLight.com for information about the physics behind this new discovery. Read articles and chat with astrophysicists about the implications. Call (415) 767-2676 to request an application. Include your nonrefundable check for $50,000 (or $100,000 if you wish to fly business class). Pack a high-quality camera, a week’s worth of clothes (plan on cool temperatures) and a few tanks of oxygen. Check with the pilot about a cockpit tour if you’re bringing kids
