Of course, my elderly Corolla is not a gas-guzzler, but even then it's and iffy proposition. If commercial FTL doesn’t become available soon I may have to drive there.

"How far to Barnard's Star?" "Er, that would be 35 Billion Wales" "Ta love!" I like the idea of the size of Wales being used as a stellar unit.

“How far to Barnard’s Star?”
“Er, that would be 35 Billion Wales”
“Ta love!”

Use your imagination. You could probably find a good likeness of Ena Sharples up there if you try hard enough. No! Use your imagination.

God lives in the middle of the Milky Way in a sector of its own (apart from the Cytherians) outside the Quadrants. Kirk met him there apparently. Keep up. (I'm not making this up - its on Wikipedia so it must be true. ) Live long and prosper. Go boldly. Get your anorak dry cleaned at Johnstones every 18months like I do.

But, to me, it doesn't look anything like a Toucan. There we are: from the sublime to the ridiculous in two sentences. I am indeed filled with awe and wonder.
