    approximately 3,355,006,500,000,000, years at the speed of sound, or, with the new plasma engine their talking about putting up in 2014 would shave it down to approx 156,400,000,000 years. i could be wrong. either way, dont walk.

    Any calculator can do that!
    Speed = Distance/Time
    Time = Distance/Speed

    For example, Polaris is about 430 light years away (2,527,810,000,000,000 miles)
    Lets say you were travelling at the speed of sound (769 mph)
    2,527,810,000,000,000/769 ~= 3,287,140,000,000
    ~= 374,994,892 yrs, 5 wks, 1 day, 12 hrs, 34 mins & 55.2 secs!
