" Just a near pop to the next star system It'll be fine, I'll give him back in 50 years "

pearl was probably refering to " Alpha Centauri " which was 4.3 light years away

the speed of light is 186,287.5 miles per second

and one light year is equivalent to 5.850,000,000,000 miles

so which means " alpha centauri is 4.3 and is equivalent to 2.527.754.920,000,000,000,000(?) miles away

the fastest travel year if it would travel in the speed of 240,000 km/hr it would be 19,000 years

and in the speed of 60,000km/hr it would take 76,000 years
