Comic-strip Superhero meets an asteroid in outer space and hurls it at 800 m/s, as fast as a speeding bullet. The asteroid is a thousand times more massive than Superhero. In the strip, Superhero is seen at rest after the throw.

In 1974, the Arecibo Radio telescope in Puerto Rico was used to transmit a signal to M13, a star cluster about 25,000 light-years away. How long will it take the message to reach M13, and how far has the message travelled so far (in light-years) ?
