Earth to Saturn in a Mini Metro

How long would it take to reach the planets in a moderately priced car?
Can't afford that ticket on the next spaceship out of town? Well fear not, for if you are the patient type and hold an interplanetary driving licence then you can drive to that Earth colony orbiting Saturn in next to no time...well, relatively speaking. In our souped-up Mini Metro, travelling at an average speed of 120mph, any traveller can reach Saturn in only 842 years. Better stock up on travel sweets then...

  • Mars-134 years At 120mph you could drive to the planet named after the Roman god of war in only 134 years.
  • Jupiter-459 years Mars a little too dusty? Then why not visit Jupiter, only 459 years of 120mph driving away.
  • Neptune-2,497 years One for colder climates? Then Neptune should be top of your list. At 2,497 years distance, though, it is a long drive, so make sure you take regular breaks and keep at 120mph!
