Okay, just kidding on the math of previous post
Checking to see if you were alert, which apparently no one was. (But hey, this is about ULYSSES, not math).
I said the 15 billion AA batteries manufactured each year (an estimation) would stack into a cube several thousand kilometers to a side.
You don't really have to do the math to realize that's ridiculous, otherwise the planet would soon be covered in AA batteries.
An honest hand-wavy calculation gives a cube about 50 meters (yards) to a side.
That's enough room to pack about 50 million copies of ULYSSES, certainly far more than has been printed, much less read.
