Re: OT - A long way to go for a short distance

5 Billion miles sounds about right for all that. It would be more direct to fly straight from here to Mercury, but doing so would take a tremendous amount of fuel as you'd have to decelerate quite a bit to get into orbit. Otherwise it would only have time to snap a few pictures as it zipped by and on out of the solar system, or a firey death as it plunged into the sun.
