I'm thinking, how long would it take to get an unmanned spaceship with a camera onboard to fly there?

Fly there, video asplosion, fly back.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Although I'm guessing if it takes light 325 years to travel that far I don't think a spaceship could get there in under a million years.

Yeah we need to realize that conventional propulsion methods fail epically in space.

Say hello to the Warp Drive / Slip space/ Wormhole Generators/ etc..

We're not getting anywhere without those.

Shit, we need to get our asses into space before shit starts hitting us. Smart people followed by pretty people, go go go!

According to Stephen Hawking, we got a maximum of 1000 years if we remain on earth. Unless we spread out in the cosmos!

I don't feel like doing the math, but yeah, if light takes 325 years to arrive, we would be there in over a million years or so.

ATM:
Fastest Man Made Object: 241,350 km/h
C = 1,080,000,000 km/h

325 light years at man made speed = 1.45 million years.

Hmm, should we start now, or wait to see if we can get better technology...

I'm assuming that as time goes on, technology would be better, so speed would increase, but would it increase rapidly enough to shrink the time needed to travel that distance?

.... Hmm, hypotheses...

The only way to travel this immense universe efficiently in my honest opinion is to create some device that can bend the universe in two and link the two ends so all we would need to do is to jump.

If we could just fit a few guys in the LHC and launch them to 99% of the speed of light, then shoot them in the general direction, we could make there

It would take 1900+ years to fly from one end to the other of the biggest star in an A330 at normal cruising speed.

Dude, 10 x jupiter, fucking wicked.
Size of the Universe: ∞

Also, 1900+ would be too short for an A330. lolzz
There is no proof of the Universe being infinate in distance.
There is no proof it has a end either. Much of what we know is limited to what we can guess about what we can see. There are laws of physics only so far as we define them.

Meh... They would have return to dust, 325 dot something years later. Imagine the stinkiness when you would open the hatch. Would be worst than my nick.

The first few links.. but as it stands (of course). Neither is the often mentioned wormhole travel. Theories and practicalities are two different matters.

Yeah, but only for the time being. Who knows what our descendants will invent..

The simple fact that we won't see it pisses me off to no end!@

Well.. assuming we don't master time travel as well... MARTY!

I really liked this line - "yet another weird one in the exoplanet menagerie,"

It would be cool to see the actual waves of plasma.
