i noticed that when i looked up at the sky last night

So fascinating

Great, and they scrapped the space shuttle so we can't go there now.

It would take 564 years to get there, even if the shuttle could travel at the speed of light

So that's were the ufos come from?

The USS Enterprise was capable of cruising at warp 5.02. That would mean 4 years, 5 months, 15 days. This was back in the 1960s.

The more modern USS Enterprise-D is capable of cruising at warp 9.20, that would mean only 4 months, 3 days.

I'm riding in the Enterprise E though. Stable at Warp 9.995 and pushing Warp 13 with overclocked reactors.

In any case - no problem getting to the planet - except that we have no ships! Thanks Obama! The only problem is the gravity, it could cause serious health and mobility issues. We also don't know if there's air or anything, probably not.
