How Far Away is Far?


Titan is 1.2 billion kilometers away.
If we went the fastest any human has ever gone. (39937 km/h)
It would take us 1252 days to reach titan at that speed.
That is almost 3 and a half years one way.

In 1968 a projected named Orion showed that humans could
possibly build a ship that could go 1000 km/s.
This ship would use nuclear explosions to propel itself.
At that speed it would only take 15 days to reach Saturn.

That ship would cost 3 Trillions dollars.
And spend over 20 years to make and develop.
But there are other options than our current most powerful rockets, the Saturn V.
