Now given that the speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second then it is highly unlikely we will ever visit this far-off planet.

The "speed of light" in free space is more properly denoted [c.sub.0] and since 1983, has been defined as 299,792,458 metres per second.

I think they had meant to say "speed of light", which everyone knows is 299,792,458 m/s.

A meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds, which fixes c to the value 299,792,458 m/s.

Gezari [1] reported a difference of 200 [+ or -] 10 m/s to the known value (c = 299,792,458 m/s according to [1]), which is in accordance with the speed of the observatory on the earth to the retro-reflector on the moon.
