[Tenacious 1]

New Horizons travels at around 36,373 mph. One light-year is 5.87849981 × 10 12 miles. (That’s 5,878,499,810,000 miles, or nearly 6 trillion miles). So, it would take New Horizons 18,449 years to travel one light year. Times 6.

Exactly! In galactic terms, right down the street. If we left now, we could be there in 110,694 years or so.

I do like the idea of shotgunning sensor cards out there, but they’re still going to have to achieve greater speed.
