Default From the Moon to the Stars

Even traveling at or near light speed, which is extremely unlikely,
it would still take many years to go anywhere significant outside the
solar system. At current maximum speeds, it'll take thousands of
millennia ! Why don't you do the simple math ? This is confirmed by
the fact that, although galaxies are obviously populated by many
intelligent species, we are yet to be visited by any.
