At a typical 18.6 miles per second the spacecraft travels at 1/10,000 of the speed of light, therefore it would take 43,000 years.
With current technology, it would take NASA thousands of years to travel 600 light years using conventional spacecraft. The vast distance and limitations of our current propulsion systems make such a journey unfeasible in a reasonable timescale.
There is currently no technology that would enable human astronauts, from NASA or from any other organization, to travel one light year. There are some theoretical proposals for ideas that might work, but nothing even on the horizon for now. we can travel in space ROUGHLY 30,000 mph...at that rate it would take us ROUGHLY 22,366 years to travel 1 light year
well the crab nebula is about 6,500 light years away so it would take 6,500 years to get there at the speed of light but we do not have any space craft that travel at that speed so it would take over a billion if not trillion years to get there!
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.
It wouldn't be possible using our current technology; with our current technology, it takes 10 years to get outside our own solar system. With technology that we could reasonably develop within the next 50 years, it should be possible to create a spacecraft that could travel 490 light years in ONLY 5,000 years or so. We know the basic principles for an Orion Nuclear Pulse Rocket, but it would be phenomenally expensive and impractical to build one to go 490 light years. The first such spacecraft will travel to much nearer stars.
Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 light-years away from Earth.

Traveling at the speed of light, it would take a spacecraft 40 years to reach a star located 40 lightyears away from Earth.
It depends what spped you travel at ! If you travelled at the speed of light it would take .... If you travelled as fast as a shuttle it would take.....
Alpha Centauri is approximately 4.37 light-years away from Earth. To reach it in 130 years, you would need to travel at an average speed of about 0.033 light-years per year, or roughly 3.3% of the speed of light. This speed is significantly faster than any current spacecraft, highlighting the challenges of interstellar travel.
To determine how long it would take to travel 434 light years, we need to consider the speed of the spacecraft. For example, at the speed of light, it would take exactly 434 years. However, if traveling at a more realistic speed, such as 20% of the speed of light, it would take approximately 2,170 years. Current technology does not allow for speeds anywhere near the speed of light, making such a journey impractical with today's capabilities.
It takes about 3 days to travel to the moon using current spacecraft technology.

Traveling 20 million light years at the speed of light would take 20 million years. Since we do not currently have technology that can travel at the speed of light, it would take much longer using current spacecraft technology.
