Default I know my light years

For those of you who do not understand lightyears goto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-yearAnd my comment was 60 "someting" lightyears. I think it was 60 Billion lightyears.
So ok lets do the sums there are 60 seconds to a minute and 60 minutes to an hour and 24 hours in a day and 365 days to a year. If light travels at 300,000meters per second that makes that planet a very, very long long way away. And the light waves take time to travel that distance. So that image is of a planet that existed a very very long time ago. If we were able to invent something out of nothing to create artificial mass we would then have to send that artificial mass (anti matter) to that other earth like planet which would take time(t) and would travel slower than light. Then by the time it's taken for us to detect the orginal light from that planet (60 billion lightyears) to the time it takes to build something out of nothing (anti matter) and then send it to that planet, we would probably get there and find it's collasped into it's sun.
Maybe a better challenge would be if NASA could DISCOVER some fitness program to reverse the irevrsable effects of the LSD drugs that where out in America during the 60's.
Or maybe they could discover that they are a bunch of fools and need a budget cutback
