Reply to comment by SuperSimpleSam in TIL star systems are much closer together near the center of the galaxy, with some being only 0.4–0.04 light-years apart by yoguckfourself
Parker Solar Probe 690,000 km/hr
These craft go the speed they need to go to achieve their mission goals.
We can go much faster than Voyager if we choose to.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in What educational books about space should be read for a general idea of it? by happy__teo
I'll just add too, I'm kind of in the same position as you. I've taken 2023 as my year to learn more and to "Get Into Space" (not literally, unless Elon is reading this.....)
But what I am pretty good at doing is wading through all the vast amounts of stuff out there about space and finding the most valuable and easiest to understand things for people like you and me. So if you want me to be your guide and focus your interest on things that are directly useful to you, just let me know!
