Neptune
From Wikipedia
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known planet orbiting the Sun.
Neptune is not visible to the unaided eye and is the only planet in the Solar System that was not initially observed by direct empirical observation. Rather, unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led Alexis Bouvard to hypothesise that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. After Bouvard's death, the position of Neptune was mathematically predicted from his observations, independently, by John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier. Neptune was subsequently directly observed with a telescope on 23 September 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle within a degree of the position predicted by Le Verrier. Its largest moon, Triton, was discovered shortly thereafter, though none of the planet's remaining moons were located telescopically until the 20th century.
The planet's distance from Earth gives it a small apparent size, and its distance from the Sun renders it very dim, making it challenging to study with Earth-based telescopes. Only the advent of the Hubble Space Telescope and of large ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics allowed for detailed observations.
The average distance between Neptune and the Sun is 4.5 billion km

BATESON [on viewscreen]: Captain Picard, your vessel is not familiar to us.
PICARD: Captain, have you any idea what has just happened?
BATESON [on viewscreen]: Our sensors detected a temporal distortion. Then your ship appeared. We nearly hit you.
PICARD: The Enterprise has been caught in temporal causality loop, and I suspect that something similar may have happened to you.
BATESON [on viewscreen]: You must be mistaken. We left starbase only three weeks ago.
PICARD: Captain, do you know what year this is?
BATESON [on viewscreen]: Of course I do. It's twenty two seventy eight.
PICARD: Perhaps you should beam aboard our ship. There's something we need to discuss.

Quotes
D.J.: I wasn't going to tell you this. I've been listening to the distress signal, and I, um, think I made a mistake in the translation.
[Plays the distress signal]
Miller: Go on.
D.J.: I thought it said "liberate me" - "save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutemet" - "save yourself." And it gets worse.
[Plays the distress signal again]
D.J.: There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from Hell." Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen... or what it's brought back with it?
Miller: From Hell? You don't believe in that kind of stuff, do you?
D.J.: Whoever sent that message, he sure believed in Hell.
from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:
by me, Kerry Burgess, 04/06/07 2:05 PM
Goddamnit my foot hurts. It feels like someone hits it with a sledgehammer every night when I am asleep.
And - damn - that is my favorite foot for kicking ass. If I have to literally start kicking ass, I am going to have to use the other foot.
Plantar fasciitis

STOCK SALE FOR ORBITAL IS CANCELED
By Willie Schatz and John Burgess March 24, 1990
For months, Orbital Sciences Corp. has lived in fear that its Pegasus rocket would blow up on its first launch, scheduled for next month. Yesterday, the Fairfax company was rocked by a different kind of explosion, a highly embarrassing eleventh-hour cancellation of its first sale of stock to the public.
"It's now to me easy to understand why the public has such a low opinion of some journalists," said Orbital Vice President Scott L. Webster, in an apparent reference to the article. He described himself as "furious" and said the company had "learned our lesson" about talking to the press.
Orbital, Alex. Brown and the second lead underwriter, Merrill Lynch, described the move as a postponement. "Orbital Sciences and the underwriters still plan to proceed with the offering and are currently discussing a new timetable," they said in a statement.
But people familiar with the deal said yesterday it might be very difficult to put it back on track.
Founded in 1982 by three young alumni of Harvard University's business school, Orbital has been one of the most closely watched and publicized small companies in the industry. It has worked closely with the Defense Department and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to develop a series of rockets and space systems. It had 534 full-time employees at the end of 1989 and in the first nine months of the year, it had revenues of $57 million.
Its flagship project is Pegasus, a 50-foot, winged rocket. The company hopes that Pegasus, designed to be launched from a B-52 bomber, will be used to carry both military and private payloads into space.
Pegasus had been scheduled to fly for the first time March 7, but the launch was postponed until April. Some space industry analysts thought it odd that the public offering was not delayed until after the launch, given its importance to the company's future.
But the offering remained on track, until the Wall Street Journal article.
Although the article was largely a restatement of long-known facts about Orbital, its timing and tone was exactly what anxious investors didn't need. Under a headline "Space Gamble," it explored at length the risks facing the company, noting launch failures that have plagued the industry. It began with a paragraph describing how the first Pegasus rocket was supposed to perform, adding "then again, the rocket could just blow up."

[on whether to disclose the loss of a stealth bomber]
Giles Prentice: Wait. We're making a mistake.
Secretary Baird: Giles? You, uh, have some input you wish to share with us?
Giles Prentice: Yes, sir. Aviation Week has been following the development of the B3 for years. They have "stringers" - guys camping out in lawn chairs all night out by the Whiteman perimeter fence - watching just in case one of these things take off. Now, they're gonna know that one took off last night, and they're gonna know that it didn't come back. Now, we put out a press-release saying a C141 went down in Utah, they're gonna put two and two together. Aviation Week is gonna run a story, everyone's gonna know what really happened, and we're all gonna look extremely stupid. We're better off just telling the truth.
Secretary Baird: The truth? How'd you get this job?
