Eh, five years is nothing. The first two UV spectrographs we built here will take 10 (Rosetta) and 9.5 years (New Horizons) to reach their targets. LRO was the speed demon needing a whopping 4 days to reach the Moon.

Y'know, I like that a ton. I might have to use that somewhere, in a ping message. Dunno how or why just yet, but I'm going to think about it. :')
