The trade ship Sunbeam had gootten the message, but said it would be rougly 400 EARTH DAYS until they reached the next star base. It would probably take a couple months to assemble a rescue operation (they don't know that there's only one survivor, and have to be able to handle the 110 somewhat people onboard the Aurora), and then another year and a third to get back! The 17 to 52 day thing is TOTALLY out the window. 17-52 weeks would be closer, but still FAR away.
