The nearest galaxies are the Sagittarius and Canis Major dwarfs, which are some 80,000 and 25,000 light years away respectively. So that's a 25,000-80,000 year journey.
And?



Kidding. That's a good point! But what about faster than light? That's right. I said faster than light. Where's your science now?

That's what I was thinking. There can't be other life out there! They're not accounted for! They must be heathens.
