Very roughly, if you had a ship capable of accelerating at 1 g (I know of no way to do this), you'd experience a decade of ship time to cross that distance. ht

http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/O/one-g_spacecraft.html http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/O/one-g_spacecraft... has other examples. They are round-trip, not one way, hence my describing my math as very rough.
- philhippus 13y agoSomewhat related; if you accelerate at a constant 9G it would take around 3 months to reach the speed of light.
- cpeterso 13y agoThat would be a pretty miserable 3 months. Can humans stay conscious for long at 9G?
- philhippus 13y agoTop Gun pilots can withstand 9G for quite a few seconds without a G-suit IIRC from documentaries on the topic.
