 I take it that you have not considered the possibility of a supernova.

Actually, I did, a the back-of-the-envelope risk analysis indicated that
the likely delay of 6.2 million years before likely exposure was deemed
acceptable, interstellar terrorism by the Romulan Empire and Vogon
constructor fleets notwithstanding. 

Random acts of God, terrorist actions, and takings of condemnation by
the local interstellar planning commission aren't within my design
portfolio, and are excluded liabilities in the usual commercial terms
and conditions under US contract law.

 Now go to the back of the class.

Oh, goody. Time to ignore the poor plodder at the front of the class and
catch up on the remaining Horace and Catullus I haven't read yet. Nobody
gets hassled for not paying attention if you're reading stuff in Latin.

Worked all through high school, probably still works now...8-)
