Orange | Too slow to be practical |
Note: Full impulse usually
refers to an acceleration, not to a fixed speed.
The value above therefore can only be used as a reference for quarter lightspeed
which would be achieved after some time under impulse acceleration and with
only minor relativistic effects.
