A good time to remind ourselves of the position of our tiny little lump of rock in our tiny little Solar System, with its collection of other little bits of rock and clumps of gas, on the very tip of one of the many arms of our Milky Way Spiral Galaxy, which contains zillions of Stars and Suns with lumps of rock and gas rotating around them, similar to our own!
Not only that, but there are many of other Spiral Galaxies all doing the same thing as our Milky Way, in the enormous expanse of the Universe which contains it all!
The nearest star to us is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 Light Years away. It's the nearest to us and would take us just over 4 years to reach it while traveling through space at a speed of 186,000
MILES PER SECOND, and its impossibility, and that's just the nearest star in our Galaxy! Everything else is even farther away from us!

I doubt that we will go a-visiting somewhere outside of-of our tiny little Solar System in our Milky Way Galaxy, anytime soon, and I very much doubt that "anyone" else out there will be visiting our little bit of Rock anytime soon!
...stuff is just too far away!....
....!
It's all this sort of stuff that keeps me awake at nights!.....
