Default Deep Space Travel in Perspective

The very fastest space probe to date will take :

10 years to reach the very nearest star

400 MILLENNIA to travel from the center to the edge of our galaxy

Well over 6,000 MILLENNIA to reach our very nearest
neighbor galaxy, Andromeda

Keep in mind, that only a measly 2 MILLENNIA ago, will take you back
to the start of the Roman Empire !

Be sure to pack a lunch for these journeys ...
