We often speak about the size of our galaxy. Here is a representation by NASA. Just to give you an idea of the size of the galaxy, suppose you could travel one light year per hour. First, the distance to the Oort Cloud which englobes our solar system is three light years or about one parsec.
From our sun Sol to the center of the galaxy is 26,000 light years or more than 8,000 parsecs. Put another way, if you could travel at one light year per hour, it would still take you a month and a half from Earth to the core. However, if all you could manage is three-quarters of light speed, a supposed speed limit in Einsteinian science, it would take about 34,666 years. Put another way, your children almost 7000 generations removed would arrive and you would have probably been dead over 34,600 years.
As a result of these simple facts, to get anywhere in out life time we have to find a way around the speed of light as a cap on rate of travel. This is why I have gravitonic and anti-preon drive. It would still take a long time to get anywhere.
