Are there any gas stations along the way? I don’t think I can make it on one tank of gas.

Gee only 16 light years away. Let’s see 1 light year is approximately 5,878,606,438,399.745 * 16 = 94,057,703,014,395.42 miles away. I hope we don’t collide anytime soon. 8>)

"... located a mere 16 light-years away."

Hmmm... At warp 8.8 the trip will only take 5-years...We need warp 20 to avoid a long boring trip...

At our current top spacecraft speed, we could get there in about 320,000 years.
