QQC2

Quote: Now the first thing you will likely realize is that space is extremely well named and rather dismayingly uneventful. Our solar system may be the liveliest thing for trillions of miles, but all the visable stuff in it-- the sun, the planets and their moons...--fills less than a trillionth of the available space.

Question: How many stars would we see?

Comment: I'm aware that our solar system doesn't take up much space at all, but when they call space uneventful, I wonder what you would see, if not the constant asteroids. Wouldn't there still be the gorgeous stars all around of various colors? Although, I guess that could get boring pretty quickly. It seems like a long journey like that is impossible, unless we can make our rocket ships somehow go a billion times faster.
