The cluster had previously been out of reach, due to the 219 light-year gap between '''OUTOTCH SA-U D4-O''' and '''AH CANCRI'''.  However, due to a recent discovery of a massive FSD boost via neutron star, what is known as the "Cancri Climb" became possible.  M67 does not contain any neutron stars.
