It takes years of traveling to go to any of them

It takes years of traveling at or near the speed of light to go to any of them. It takes tens of thousands of years at the speeds we currently reach.

Edit: Oops, read this wrong. I thought they were implying exploring close stars. They were discussing only our solar system, which is still large so takes a long time, but there aren't any naturally habitable places, and nothing that'd be easy to terraform.
