      There’s not really any limit on how fra we could go, since when you get going in space there’s nothing to slow you down anymore so you don’t need too much extra fuel. The problem is, space is really really big, so it takes a loooooooooong time to get anywhere, so you might run out of food or even just die of old age before you get anywhere interesting.

      You can go as far as you want into space. The universe is infinitely big – there’s no edge! It’ll take a while, though. Space is BIG.
