This is the snail immortality thought experiment. You are immortal until a certain immortal indestructible snail touches you. You can never be rid of the snail, and it will never stop pursuing you.
How does the snail account for space travel? Does it have a little snail rocket? And if so, is it normal speed, or extremely slow for comedic effect?
If anything is possible, and the snail is somehow motivated to find you, then it could hitchhike on another rocket. The goal isn't to be there quickly, only to be an eventuality.
maybe it has a towel.
Wait, you wouldn't actually go anywhere without one, would you?
