[Idiom] "To infinity and beyond"

[maiabulela]

Dear all,

What is the meaning of the catchphrase "To infinity and beyond" that is always repeated by Buzz in Toy Story?

What does he mean by it?

Thanks a lot.

It's just a catch-phrase - specifically (hyperbolically) saying he'll go as far as possible (and then some) to do what's right. (In the tradition of such catch-phrases involving popular science, it is logically impossible - I think ;-)).

hi
Please note I'm not a teacher nor a native speaker,

I think it is an oxymoron.

Cheers

Not a teacher.

There are mathematics where "infinity plus one" comes into play, as oxymoronic as it sounds.
