Hi I'm new here and just signed up. For extra credit my science teacher
asked us "How long would it take for someone to go to the nearest star?"
I already knew that the nearest star was the sun. Remember, I want to
know how long it would take to get there not how many miles it is.


Not very long if you cycle. The first part is pretty steep, but after
that you can freewheel the whole way downhill.

I'm told there aren't any bicycle racks when you get there.
