My space travel

[TMac3000]

I need some sort of :reallyreallyagree: emoticon here!

You could do a double-thank, like I do:
Double-thanked:thumbup::thumbup: (just don't thank the post, and then double-thank, unless you feel like triple-thanking, which I also do from time to time

Or you could do this: :thankyou:

I'm now 623,650,000,000 kilometers or 4,170 AU away from the sun and moving at the speed of 196,153 kilometers per second!

I'm now 705,038,000,000 kilometers or 4,713 AU away from the sun and moving at 208,570 kilometers per second!

Hi, guys!

I'm now 800,400,000,000 kilometers or 5,351 AU away from the sun and moving at the speed of 222,258 kilometers per second! Thanks!

Cheers,
Vincent

Just sayin', in the process of debugging I have arrived at an altitude of 4,285,978 AU from the Sun, moving at a speed of 218,184,656,400 m / s (though the instruments read 0.00 m / s.) The camera is jittery and my spaceship is flickering in different states of dusk. I'm expecting to be eaten by a grue any minute now.

So, vinny5000, I was wondering do you just leave orbiter running in the background with thrusters blasting away for hours on end? Also, do you run any other missions or are you mainly interested in just making a mad dash to through the void?

 

[Athena]

Or he could have just used time acceleration while leaving the computer on while the thrusters were firing with unlimited fuel when he was asleep.....

 

[vinny5000]

Hi, statickid!

Yes, I have the rocket engines firing continuously with unlimited fuel, no time acceleration. I'm interested in making a mad dash through the void!

Cheers,

Hi, guys!

my space travel is going well so far! I'm now 1,040,500,000,000 kilometers or 6,956 AU away from the sun and moving at the speed of 253,540 kilometers per second!

Cheers,

[TMac3000]

So he's a tenth of a light year out and traveling at about 85% of the speed of light. Can someone calculate his time dilation situation? The math is a little over my head:lol:

 

[Loru]

time dilation factor according to my calculations is 1,873959588

 

[TMac3000]

So he'd be aging about a year for every two of our years, right?
Depending the trajectory he's taking, he could reach Alpha Centauri in two of his years

 

[RisingFury]

time dilation factor according to my calculations is 1,873959588

This is a nitpick, but a better way of expressing time dilation is 1 / Gamma or in this case 1 / 1.87... = 0.53...

So for an occupant aboard that vessel, time would only pass at half the rate it passes for us.


At 85% of the speed of light, half the rate might not seem like much of a change, but things really slow down after you go above 90%.

Hi, guys!

So far so good!! I'm now 1,200,043,000,000 kilometers or 8,022 AU away from the sun and moving at 272,300 kilometers per second or about 91% of C!

Cheers,

[vinny5000]

Hi, guys!

So far so good!! I'm now 1,369,900,000,000 kilometers or 9,158 AU away from the sun and moving at 291,002 kilometers per second or about 97% of C!

Cheers,
Vincent

 

[garyw]

so far so good for what exactly?

 

[vinny5000]

Hi, garyw!

So far so good for no problems like CTD when I go that far away from the sun such as over 9,000 AU away from the sun, and as far as I know orbiter have interstellar space without other solar systems like Alpha Centauri, and Deneb ect.

Cheers,
Vincent

 

[vinny5000]

Hi, guys!

I'm now 1,555,064,000,000 kilometers or 10,395 AU away from the sun and moving at the speed of 310,100 kilometers per second!!

Cheers,
Vincent

 

[Izack]

Congratulations, you are now superluminal!

 

[vinny5000]

Hi, Izack!

Thank-you very much! Like I said, I think the orbiter have interstellar space but without other solar systems like Alpha Centauri, and Deneb, ect.

Cheers,
Vincent
