“...a nearby star”

Come on, man!...Even the sun is not a nearby star. It’s a long, long way from home.

12 light-years away!

10 light years is around 58.79 trillion miles.

Travelling near the speed of light it would take at least 10 years to get to 10 light years away.

Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle at 24791 mi/h. At this speed, it would take around... 270000 years.

The fastest mad-made object ever built, the Helios 2. At this speed it would only take around 43000 years.
