I wonder how long it will take to get to Cardassia
I'd be content with Proxima Centauri. But that'll still take a little while.
Indeed. In Deep Space 9, they built one and tried to sail it from Bajor. Got caught in a field of tachyons and ended up at Cardassia. Would essentially be like us making it to Proxima Centauri though.
Oh yeah, I remember that one. I feel like it bothered me, but I could swear I knew nothing about solar sails back then.
