 “Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-
 bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to
               the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.”

From Flutterby [1] comes this video of traversing our Solar System at the
speed of light [2]. It's only (only!) 45 minutes long, and you want to know
how far you get in just 45 minutes?

A bit past Jupiter [3] (oddly enough, it also takes about 45 minutes to get a
bit past Jupiter [4] from Chez Boca—fancy that).
