186k miles per sec equates to something like 3.612 x 10 to the 12th miles away- 3,612,000,000,000 miles- yeah 3.6 trillion.

At a “leisurely” 100k mph (out of reach so far) that would be only 3.612 x 10 to the 7th- 36,120,000 years to get there- yeah 36 million years.....

At a million miles per hour ( play star trek theme song now) that would be 36 years......

Even if I shanked my scientific notation by a factor of 10 or even 100, you get the picture. We ain’t going no where.

Silly.
