So we know Earth has Asgard intergalactic-hyperdrives, and those take around a minute or so to get from the Ida Galaxy to our own. But even if we didn't have those, it took the Daedalus a few weeks to cross the gap between Earth and Pegasus. And they are relatively close together (in astrophysics, at least).
So looking at this:

I'd say it would take a ship with an Asgard IGH less than a week to travel that distance, and that's being generous. And the Daedalus a few months.
So knowing this, Earth could easily reach the Destiny within a year or two, maybe three. The drives the Destiny uses are far inferior to a hyperdrive, so they could catch up to them.
Now this is the part where I'm supposed to ask "Why don't they do it if they can?" But we all know that would do horrific things to the plot, and that's not what the writers want (or what the viewers want to see, for that matter)
So the real question is, can they really reach the Destiny if they want to?
