if we traveled to this solar system at 20,000mph, it would take us approximately 5,900 years to reach it.

Not crunching the numbers, but I just know you are off by several hundred orders of magnitude here. At that slow speed, it would take a shite lot more than a few thousand years - possibly many millions if not billions.
