Hey Rokketboy,
Yeah! It does kind of get that adrenalin going. By astro terms it is quite close. 20.5 L Yrs.
To put it in another context: Man went from 50 Klms/hr to 150 klms/hr in 50 years. In the next 50 he reached 30,000 k/h.
I wonder if it be a possibility to travel at such speeds one day to bring such places into range.
Perhaps a different dimension or some such thing. There's an awful lot we have to discover.
Cheers Marty
