: In G4 Sunbathing, Leela tells us:
: You have done well.  I have sent a message to Earth.  I sent
: all of the information I have on the Pfhor: their behavior;
: their technology.  The message will arrive in ninety-two
: years.

:

: I think that pretty much says that Tau Ceti is 92 light-years from earth,
: don't you?

No, not really. From the "Distance" page:
Planning a trip to Tau Ceti ? So just how far away is it? 92 light years or 11.77 light years?
Concerning this problem Nathan writes:

If we've learned anything over the years, it's that you can't trust the damn computers.
Bungie knows where Tau Ceti is. It is the 24th closest star to Sol, at approximately 11.5 light years from Earth. The real question is, what were the AIs thinking?>

and as I stated before, in the new GURPS manual that was just recently finished and announced in the Jan 2003 "What's new" the author states that Leela was confuced, and in fact the message arrived in 11.9 years (or some such. the quote is in my original post). I do not however know the source of the author's information.
