Proxima Centauri takes 4.3 years from our frame of reference, but time moves slower at relativistic speeds so passengers wouldnt age as fast

Are these from Earth's reference frame or the ship's?

I think there's a flaw in all this. The web site says 2 AAA batteries. I am almost certain it takes 4

Only 13 years to the nearest potential habitat/life? Sign me up!

Do they have oil? Sounds like they could use some freedom.

I enjoy the thought that we're actually looking at things that happened 30,000 years ago in distant solar systems.

I enjoy the thought that many of the things in the observable universe which we can see may no longer be there. That's cool.

And even more that may have been there for a long time but the light's just not had the time to reach us

If you remember Einsteins “theory of relativity“ the distance would contract to nearly zero when traveling with the speed of light. (1/2)
IInsultPeopleForNoReason
Which mean within a blink of an eye you could reach distances millions of lightyears away when traveling at lightspeed. But....
IInsultPeopleForNoReason
...its just a theory, we are not even close to reach such speeds. (3/3)
