Useless Trivial facts

Useless, unless you're an American astronaut ...

Texas law has allowed American astronauts who cannot vote in person and are unable to vote via absentee ballot, such as those aboard the International Space Station and Mir space station, to cast their ballots in federal elections electronically from orbit since 1997. Ballots are sent via secure email to the Johnson Spaceflight Center and then passed on the astronauts' home counties in Texas.

Surely now a contradiction in terms?

Secure email is available, or so I am led to believe.

A signal from Voyager 1 takes about 17 hours to travel to Earth.

The 36-year-old probe is about 19 billion kilometers from our sun.

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-277&cid=release_2013-277

And the strength of that signal is so weak that a modern day digital watch operates at at a power level 20 billion times greater. The sensitivity of the deep-space tracking antennas (one of which is just outside Canberra) that can pick up such a weak signal is amazing.

Oh, and the resolution of the Voyager narrow-angle television cameras is sharp enough to read a newspaper headline at a distance of 1 km.

The line you heard at school in grammer class "I before E except after C" is wrong more often than its right.
