You're both right. Dammit, math strikes again. Okay, so let me try to make this right. Here we go.

Each box is 1000 AU, so inside each box we would have, roughly, the same distance as:

  500,000 trips to the moon
  34 trips from Earth to Neptune
  8 Voyager 1 missions as of February 2012.
Plus, Carl Sagan explaining what would happen if we travelled at the speed of light. http://youtu.be/lPoGVP-wZv8
