DURING THIS TIME YOU COULD TRAVEL TO AND FROM MARS ABOUT 19 TIMES*, ALTHOUGH WE THINK THAT SLEEPING IS PROBABLY A BETTER USE OF YOUR TIME. NASA DURING THIS TIME, YOU COULD WATCH THE FILM TITANIC OVER 17,000 TIMES. THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF JACK, THE AVERAGE PERSON SPENDS ROSE AND CELINE DION 61,360 HOURS OF THEIR LIFE LYING AWAKE AT NIGHT!
