Let's build a ship that can get us there and back again, and go find out for our selves

90 LY at warp 8 is only 32 days travel time each way.

Unless there is a nearby worm hole. Then the trip would be less time consuming. Of course those who are on a ship traveling over the speed of light may not experience the same passing of time as those back on Earth ... but that's another story

But normal cruising speed is only warp 6.
It's possible to travel faster than that, of course,
but only for limited periods since it accelerates deterioration of the dilithium crystals.
