Big Distance - My talk from Ignite Phoenix 3

Here are the slides and the audio track from my Big Distance presentation, originally given at Ignite Phoenix 3 on February 25, 2009. The slides have been corrected. The audio was recorded right here in my office. So is it the exact same talk as happened live last week? Nope. It's better.

Props to Phil Plait for much of the math. And checking the rest. Of the math. Go buy Death from the Skies!. It's where I got much of the info.
