250,000 miles an hour. That's it? Lets see 90*5.88 = 572 trillion miles. If my math is right.

That would take us over 2 billion years!!!!!

Anyone up for a road trip?

I think you messed up some zeros.
The Pioneer spacecraft is now doing 25 000 miles/hour.

With this velocity, a one-way trip takes 2.5 million years.

Need a lot of tunes in the CD player for a trip that long, IMHO.
