Well, the pyramids in the Valley of the Kings last for around 4500 
years. Dinosaurs have ruled the Earth for approximately 120 million 
years. Solar system is 5 billion years old. Cosmos is around 13 billion 
years old. Compared to those numbers, indeed, several hours isn't that 
long. Furthermore, you have to account for the time dilatation. One hour 
on the planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour is not 
the same as one hour of standing still. To make things even more 
interesting, it's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,The 
sun that is the source of all our power. So, several hours is relative.  
Each object has its relative time so it's not possible to conclude 
whether several hours is a long time or not.
