Well,let's see. This story has been fraught with angst, pain, and suffering since the very beginning. Clark is being shot toward earth on a four month journey in an unpiloted capsule... Hmmm.

I see Terry has already seen what I see.

I can picture the scene several years hence, when Zara and Ching (the star drive has been repaired) come for a visit and find out that Clark isn't there, and Lois finds out that he left New Krypton several years ago. Talk about your angsty moment.

Isn't there some Einsteinian physics that theorizes that the relative time spent by the occupants of an interstellar craft would be vastly different than the actual passing of time while they were away? So if Clark experiences a relative four month trip, the actual time that would have passed on earth would be significantly more. Any physic geeks out there?
