At 1g constant acceleration/decceleration you could make it to the Moon (380,000 km) in 3 hours.

- thaumasiotes 8y agoFair enough. A six hour commute is unrealistic, but by my calculations a constant 1g of acceleration is enough to cover a round trip from Wellington, New Zealand to Tokyo and another from Wellington to Lisbon in under 90 minutes of daily commute. I note that in reality, we don't ever travel with constant nonzero acceleration, but it's fair to ignore that under the explicit assumption that there are no costs involved.
