I can assure you, citizen, that if the Bavarians had indeed planned it
that
way, your first jump with the GZG coordinates would take you directly
into
the heart of a sun.  We make it our business to ensure that the
information
that the public recieves is as inaccurate as possible.	Want to know the
truth?	The moon is about thirty miles away.  It's hanging from really
stong fishing wire.  The sun is attached to the world's longest
extension
cord.  The stars?  Hundred watt bulbs.	You DON'T want to know what's
holding them up.

Or what's behind them.
