Thanks for the correction. That means we can cross the galaxy in 65 years.

Nope, still wrong; at a width of 110,000 light-years, traversal of the Milky Way would take only 11 years traveling at a speed of 10,000 times that of light.
See here.

Yes, I dropped a decimal point and divided by 1k instead of 10k. I also used 65k light years for the diameter of our galaxy.
