WebARX researchers discovered the vulnerability and reported it to ThemeGrill developers on February 2. The plugin developer didn't issue a fix until Sunday. Websites that use ThemeGrill should update immediately. Better yet, as Böck recommended, they should uninstall the plugin altogether.

I have wondered and marveled -as have so many people- at the truly astronomical numbers associated with chemical rocket powered space travel to the nearest star systems. As per this article,
Example figures given include; ...a velocity of 35,000 miles/hr (56,000 km/hr). At that rate it would take 81,000 Years to reach Proxima Centauri.
If there are no earthlike worlds at Proxima Centauri, one must look even further, and the time and distance quickly surpasses 350,000 years and more for just a journey of a few lightyears even further than Proxima Centauri.
