To determine how long it will take the Goddard to reach its destination, we need to know the speed at which it is traveling and the distance it needs to cover.
1. If the Goddard is traveling at speeds close to the speed of light (which is about 186,282 miles per second or approximately 299,792 kilometers per second), it could take anywhere from a few years to a couple of decades to reach a destination within five to twenty light years.
2. If the Goddard is traveling at conventional speeds (like those of current spacecraft, which are much slower than light), then reaching destinations a couple hundred or more than a thousand light years away could take many years, potentially hundreds to thousands of years.
Without specific details about the speed of the Goddard and the exact destination, I can't provide a precise answer. However, if we assume it's traveling at a conventional speed, "a couple hundred years" or "more than a thousand years" are realistic estimates for destinations that are several light years away.
Please provide more context for a more accurate assessment.
