How cool would it be to have a magic sports-car-like space vehicle that could go a million miles an hour! 100% navigable and controllable by just thinking (no skill required to use), 100% comfortable, 100% safe. Zero maintenance, no life support systems to worry about, completely radiation-proof, etc. Just pack some food, climb in, and go. Wherever you want, whenever you want, in perfect safety and comfort. Just lean back, think the "go" thought, and watch the sights go by.
Imagine what you could see and do! So many things to see, so many mysteries answered. Star Wars and Star Trek rolled into one without the nuts & bolts, hassles, logistics, and dangers...
Bzzzzzzzzzt
Sorry. You couldn't carry enough food to see anything but the Moon. Just getting to Neptune would be four months of staring at black nothingness, and after years of zig-zagging around the Solar System to zip past each of the other seven planets (they wouldn't be arranged in a line, remember), the show would be over, anyway. It would take 3300 years to reach the nearest star.
