“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”
— Douglas Adams

Simplified Meaning:
Space is incredibly vast, so much so that it is hard to even imagine how big it really is. Even if you think a trip to the local pharmacy is far, that distance is tiny compared to the enormity of space. Imagine traveling for days or even years and still having countless miles left to go. That's how immense space is. Think of how far it is to the nearest city or country; now, multiply that by millions or even billions, and you're just beginning to understand the scale of the universe. For example, the journey to Mars, which is our neighboring planet, would take many months in a spaceship. This perspective helps us understand that our day-to-day distances are minuscule compared to the unfathomable expanse of space.
