The spaceman (played by Michael Rennie) says that his ship traveled 250 million miles in 5 months, but he does not say that was his entire trip. He comes from a planet outside our solar system, so he obviously traveled a lot farther than that. For movie audiences, an airspeed of 4000 mph and a space velocity of 70,000 mph would have sounded fast, and a distance of millions of miles would sound like far away. This was before ordinary people knew about the trillions of miles, or dozens of light-years, that can separate planetary systems.

In our solar system, however, Mars is 400 million kilometers away from Earth sometime each year, which is 250 million miles. And Jupiter is never closer than 350 million miles.
