You better check. The Pioneer acceleration is 8e-10 not 8e-16m/ss.
Wouldn't this invalidate your arithmetic?

Oops. Yes. Where did I get 8 x 10^-16 m/s/s from?

Actually I think I know. 8 x 10^-13 km/s/s is 8 x 10^-10 m/s/s, not 8
x 10^-16 m/s/s. Doh.

Actually the last step in my logic is also bogus, but I think I get ~9
x 10^-12 m/s/s if I try to correct it.

Mmm, I need more maths.

Thanks
