Space, the imposible fronteer?

I have been working on new TG fiction, using an entirely different style, making use of the one liners that those who know me in person find amusing. I have also been searching to find a way to write about some very lurid and steamy things within the confines of my personal beliefs.

The biggest problem, however, has been to write about space travel to several other Galaxies, making it seem merely inconvient and arduous, not imposible.

There is a dearth of information these days on the Internet, like the fact that our own Galaxy is a mere 100,000 light years across. The distance to our nearest other Galaxy, if you ignore the one tangled up with our own, is 27 Million light years away. At first I thought that travel at 100 times the speed of light would do it, but it was not until I tried to calculate travel times at 10K the speed of light, that I realized that any appreciable travel at fantastic speeds still confines us to the crib. It would still take an astonishing 2700 years to reach that nearest Galaxy, and there are how many cajillion Galaxies out there?

Now, perhaps my only math ability was contained in the two little brains that I had cut off, but I think my calculations are correct, I can just feel it!

So, I think I will take the fantasy escapist approach on Galactic distances; we just won't talk about it; pretend it is not a problem, right?

If anyone has any suggestions that would not butcher Einsteins thought, um, now would be the time.

Many Blessings
