Proven oil reserves: 297,170 MMbl (#1 in the world; 20% of world reserves) Oil production: 3 MMbl/day (3.56% of world production) GDP (nominal) per capita: $7,576 (#76 in the world) Population: 30,206,307 (#44 in the world; %0.42 of world population)... https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Venezuela-not-a-lot-richer-given-that-its-sitting-on-the-worlds-largest-oil-reserves-and-has-a-population-of-only-30-million I like how he concludes his essay. "And the last thing that I'll leave you with is the wealth of the Chavez family: $550 million . So much for Socialism."

"Of course eventually you would get vaporized. I'll explain why. At 99.99% of c you are not only moving at that whopping speed away from Earth, but also plowing through the interstellar medium (ISM). About 1% of the mass of the ISM is dust. The dust particles are about 10^-17 kg in mass and there is about one of those dust particles every cubic hectometer, or 1 particle every 1million cubic meter of ISM. Now let's assume that the front or our needle-like ship has an area of 100 square meter. That means every 10 km we travel we hit one such particle. The energy of the hit is mcc, where m is multiplied by the gamma factor of 70 (see other answers) and c squared is about 10^17. So every dust spec hits with an energy of 70 Joule. Compare that to a 0.1 kg apple hitting you at about 100 km/h. At almost the speed of light we are doing 300,000 km/s which is 30,000 dust specs hitting like apples per second, at 70 Joules per hit, is 2,100,000 Joule per second or 2.1 MW, that is Mega Watt! So we do not need headlights. Isn't this barrage of hits slowing us down? Let's check it out. The impulse delivered per dust spec is gamma times rest mass times light speed times number of hits per second, or 70 times 10^-17 times 3 times 10^8 times 30,000, or number of hits per second, or about 0,0063 kg m/s^2 or o.oo63 N for Newton, that is the like the force corresponding to the weight of less than a gram on Earth. That is very easy to compensate by a tiny rocket engine that is ignited for a short time during a day. So at these phantastic velocities we see the difference between Energy and Momentum. The higher the speed, the higher the energy and the momentum just can't keep up. So why would you eventually get vaporized?Because you would eventually hit a dust particle of a microgram, or 10^-9 kg, which would have a yield of about 10^10 Joule, which would basically kill the ship, because that is like a 10 ton truck hitting you at 3600 km/h. Sorry Trekkies, no Enterprise, ever. " - Ben H.
