Default Re: Flying and the jet stream?

Last night I had dinner with an astronaut. He recently came back from six months on the space station. He's going to Japan soon and the trip will take something like 14 or 17 hours. When he was in space, he said they'd orbit the whole earth in about 90 minutes so the Houston-Japan trip would be like 40 minutes. Anyway, I mainly just wanted to post that I had dinner with an astronaut, 'cuz that's cool.
