That'd really require amazingly FTL speeds since many of the stars we see are hundreds, thousands or million's of light years away. You figure our nearest neghbour is about 4 LY away and Beteljuice (Orion Constellation) is some 500 LY away. When we deal with space ... seems like the bigger the number the more accurate the answer probably is (except MAYBE the number of life supporting planets??).
