But if we're not there yet, when will we be there?
Hm, that is an interesting question to ponder, when will we be there? I believe we will be there when the easter bunny arrives at Freeport and is welcomed by the FTPS.
To shorten the time you might try accelerating close to light speed and fly in a circle without using the FSD. The time dilation might cause the 'soon™' to be there for you sooner.
Oh, and the 'soon™' in my frame of reference might, naturally, differ from your frame of reference. I believe we have Einstein and a few other physicists to blame for that one.
