One way to start to appreciate this distance is to consider that after 40 tears of travelling at 60 000 kph, Voyager 1 has nearly travelled one light day.

A Light year (5.88T) pales in comparison to the USA national debt ($40T)

Two step space travel. 1, robots sent to terraform planets. 2. Followed by frozen embryos. <br>Advantages: Compact ships. Max speeds. Minimal consumption. Sleep till destination. Abundant raw transformable planets.<br>We will colonize the whole galaxy before earth runs out of uranium. <br>The last hurdle is how to survive the big freeze after harvesting the energies from last black holes.
