Traveling between planets in Destiny doesn't make scientific sense...
Just pondering this topic while waiting for the tower to load one day:
When traveling between planets in Destiny, it usually takes between 10 and 30 seconds to arrive at your destination. However, planets are so incredibly far apart that that would not be possible, even at the speed of light.
Light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun and about 78 minutes to reach Saturn from the Sun. So, the distance between Earth and Saturn is about 70 light minutes (assuming the Earth and Saturn are lined up nicely).
So, next time when you are taking a trek back to the tower after patrolling the Dreadnaught, remember that you're completing a journey that takes at least an hour in just a few seconds :)

3 RepliesAre you familiar with the concept of wormholes and warp space? Speaking scientific fact here not matter how crazy it sounds so bear with me... Space and time are both tangible objects that can be manipulated like everything else around us. Leaving 10 pages of the "how to's" out of this post I'll just say that it is possible to alter the fabric of space to shorten the distance of planets as well as altering time itself while moving between points. While it may not be possible for us today with our current technology, when you apply the lore of the traveler and the advancements of the golden age it's not hard to imagine humans in the destiny universe have a way travel to mars in a few minutes
