If each light year translates to 5.88 trillion miles we are looking at a 64.68 trllion mile journey. We better bring snacks! :-)

Make sure everyone pees before they leave!

“it will become the closest star to the sun in just 79,000 years”

Oh, JUST 79,000 years... only almost 15 times as long as human civilization has existed. No problem!
