Closest in our galaxy is alpha centaur. 4.4 light years. Current speed of our ships would take 7k years to get there.
7000 years. Older than then human basically.
The good news. If a ship left and could make it there. It would already be settled by humans before it got there. If we somehow got lightspeed travel. It would still take 4.4 years to get there.
The milky way is 100 thosuand light years across.
Closest galaxy is 2.5 million light years away.
Observable universe is 46.5 billion lightyears
Shit is big.

More chilling to think about is that we are very, very small with extremely short lifespans.
