Watch for speed cameras and remember to pay your congestion charge.

If you had unlimited fuel, you could eventually reach close to the speed of light. At that speed you could circumnavigate the known universe in something like 58 years your time. Of course, by the time you got back to earth, 15 billion years or so would have gone by for those you left behind.

Not very far in terms of the universe, galaxy or even the solar system. A rocket will only go some small fraction of the speed of light so you will probably only get a small ways out of the solar system and die somewhere in space ... maybe in 100 years or so your dead body might go somewhere near Alpha Centauri if you are on the right heading.

Viking 1 has been travelling away from Earth since the early 80's. 26 years on and it has only just left the solar system. After another 26 years it might have reached the end of the Kuiper Belt, or, comet debris from the early solar system.
You would either die of boredom, or, go completely mad locked in a spaceship with no companions.

It would not be fuel that limited you, it would be time. Even if you traveled at the speed of light; there are not many places outside of the solar system you could go in a life time.

With unlimited fuel, I think you would end up lost in space and not knowing were you are.

Given infinite fuel and infinite time, it is unclear where you would end up.
If you assume you are travelling faster than the expansion rate of the universe, then you might reach the edge of the universe.

There are two theories:
1. If space is constantly spreading, then you will be constantly going somewhere.
2. If space is not spreading, then you will sometime, eventually, come to "the edge" of space...

Rockets prefer gas to triumph over gravity. there is gravity in area, that's what keeps Earth orbiting the sunlight extremely of keeping off into area in a in the present day line. in case you basically prefer to orbit everywhere gravity might take you, no gas is mandatory. yet once you prefer to alter your orbit to pass someplace else, like the Moon or Mars or besides the fact that, you prefer gas.

you'd die in the rocket. Either of old age, or by crashing into something
