Even moving at 1 million miles per hour, or over 5 times the speed of light, it would still take over 671 years to get there. Pack a lunch!

Yeah, but if you do a million miles per second it will just take a few years.

Uhmmm...it’s ~16 light years away. Traveling at 5x the speed of light, it would take 3.2 years. Now, traveling at 1,000,000 mph, well, that would take ~11,000 years. Either way...we’re not getting there any time soon

“Pack a lunch’’ Yes. And make sure everyone goes to the bathroom before we leave.
