Astronomy has always made me tired because there are just so many stars and galaxies to keep track of.

There sure are a lot of stars out there. Should we develop a propulsion system that makes intergalactic travel possible in my lifetime, I should like to personally take a tour of all the stars. I'm talking at least a day or so observing the solar system of every single star in every single galaxy in the universe. It would definitely be time consuming but I think it would be a rewarding journey. I shall take back to Earth with me some souvenirs.

It's gonna take trillions of days. Somewhere between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone.
