I'm afraid that "empty space" is anything but.  Were your claim even close to
accurate, there'd be a lot of astronomers out of business.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
