The entire trip for me would only be about two years, provided a consistent 1 G of acceleration. Just please make it so that reversing acceleration doesn't completely screw me, so my spaceship doesn't have to do a complicated flip a bit after the halfway point on each trip. I'm certain that wouldn't be good for my stomach. permalink fedilink source parent
