Your spaceship floats on the water and its top is 34 feet above the surface of the water. You swim away from the spaceship until you see its top on the horizon. Your laser range meter tells you that your eyes are 2.2 miles away from the top of the space ship. (You are a capable - if reckless and curious - swimmer.) The radius of the planet is  miles. It's a small world, but it's all yours! \r<BR>\n" );
