      The planet is about 1,400 light-years away from the Solar System. At the speed of an spacecraft, about 37,000 mph, it would take approximately 26 million years to get there! We would never make it!

      As Kate says, 26 million years. If you think the journey to school every morning is boring, you should try the journey to Kepler-452b!
