Driving to the Sun

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun is 93 million miles away. If you could drive at 93 miles per hour without stopping, it would take you a million hours to get there. That's about 114 years. It gives you a sense of the scale of our solar system, and why we send probes instead of people to visit our star.
