Actually,

from our stay at home on earth perspective, your trip at 99.99whatever%C to the Andromeda Galaxy took you 2 million years.

- - -HOWEVER- - -

at your extremely high speed you age, let's say 40 years.  So, from YOUR perspective (and after all, what is more valid than that??) you've traveled 2 million light years  and you did it in 40 years, which means you did in fact travel at 50,000 times the speed of light.

Really.


Hope you were in the passing lane . . .
Does his age even matter? He's still going at the same speed from our point of view and from his point of view, age is just the resulting factor of general relativity but his speed is still constant, is it not?
