Let’s assume that you’re riding on a spacecraft at the same speed of the New Horizons probe, which goes at an incredible speed of 36,373 mph, or Mach 47. To see how long it would take us to travel a light year, we must first have to know what a light-year is. A light-year has an exagerated distance of about 6 trillion miles.
This is going to sound unrealistic, however, it’s the truth. It would take you little under 20,000 years, to travel just 1 light-year. Let’s say that you want to travel to Kepler 438b, which is over 400 light-years away. If you wanted to travel there in the fastest spacecraft made by man (New Horizons), it would take you about 2 million years. New Horizons probe:
When I found out, I was baffled to see how far those other planets where. It seems that we are stuck here, because we do not have the technology to reach any other habitable planets in under a human’s lifetime. I wish we would be able to travel at such speeds, however, we are just too far from achieving such technologies.
