From his perspective, realizing at launch Andromeda is 2 million light years away, and then arriving there 40 years later, he can do the math and calculate how fast he was going, and the number is 50,000X.

As for us pudgy stay at homes, we've seen multiple ice ages come and go, and probably forgot all about our wayward traveler pretty early on.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
