I was thinking it would be really cool to Time Travel to a not that long ago time, where I was quite carefree and happy... but there are a couple of hurdles.

Since April 1992, the solar system has traveled approximately 3 million light-years in a circular path around the galactic center, moving at a speed of about 200 km/s (450,000 mph). This distance is significant in astronomical terms, as it represents a vast journey through space.

Nothing is perfectly static in the Milky Way, no time travel without space travel and theres no room for error. Think I will stay home and reminisce.

3 mil light years is a bit off, it takes us about 200 million years to make an orbit and the diameter is 87,000 light years.

Still a boatload of distance traveled since ‘92 though, and does bring up a time travel conundrum unless objects as small as us are yoked in some way to significant masses…
