Our national debt: 6¢ per millimeter, or $1.53 per inch... |
|
for every single millimeter or inch between Earth and the Sun.
$96,744 per mile. The current Powerball jackpot is $105 million. That's low Earth orbit, about a thousand miles up.
Chevron made $17 billion last year. That's about 176,000 miles, not quite three-quarters of the way to the Moon.
Just some perspective for the water-cooler crowd at work. Enjoy.
