So it's 245,000,000,000,000 miles (ish) away.

Say someone was sent at age 25, and could survive to 80 (55 years to to travel),

4,454,545,454,545 miles would need to be traveled every year

->

12,373,737,373 miles would need to be traveled every day

->

515,572,930 miles would need to be traveled every hour

Yeh...We're getting there no time soon.

Yes but aren´t we keeping alive longer in space? As time is different there? I am nearly sleeping right now sorry if its trash.


We don't stay alive longer, because there's nothing that means travelling at high speeds extends life-span. However, time relative to earth does slow down at higher speeds.

Oke ;)

The gravity will probably be overwhelming making anything alive there on steroids probably.

Read some comments since I didn't finish the whole article, apparently it's inhabitable.
