The famous Whirlpool galaxy M51 was one of Charles Messier's original discoveries: He discovered it on October 13, 1773, when observing a comet, and described it as a "very faint nebula, without stars" which is difficult to see.

M51 lies 31 Million light years away from Earth. If anything had a destination for that galaxy, it would be stupid. with current technology, it would take us 570 billion years to reach that galaxy. I would say the entire point is moot, wouldn't you?
