While these astro-unfriendly conditions prevail I did some rough calculations.
Its interesting to note that prior to the Industrial Revolution People rarely travelled
more than 13kms from their homes each day.

Now its common to see 100kms / day.

If it were 280 a day (figures are approx). Or 2000kms / week, becomes 100,000kms per year.

At that rate a person would accumulate the 1.2 billion kms to Saturn in just a mere 12,000 years.

Perhaps a pilot @ 6,000kms / day (@ 5days / week ( ‘cause the boss won’t let him have the plane on weekends). Becomes 1.5million kms/ year. That would take only 80 years to make the journey. Then there’s the return trip.

Thought Jessica and “boss” may like that. Putting the distance to your first planet in
some kind of perspective.

To the nearest star??? Nope I’m not going there!

Cheers Marty
