Yeah, that was a joking reference to an (in)famous line in Star Wars in which Han Solo brags that the Millennium Falcon has made the run to Kessel in “less than 5 parsecs”. Of course, using parsecs as a measure of time makes about as much sense as using feet as a measure of time. away).

IANAastrogator but if planet A and planet B are in motion, possibly away from each other depending on point in orbital period, chasing down a destination moving away from you in a short distance would be considered impressive.
Its akin to saying my friend left for New York an hour before me and I caught up to him after 60 miles, pronunced I was going at least 60 mph faster than him.
