    Trip to Saturn: Constant Acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 - Is It Possible?

    I was speaking of the fuel source/acceleration problem, that as the ship increased in velocity it would also increase in mass because of relativity, meaning it would need more energy to sustain its acceleration. I was told that this is one of the main problems with accelerating up to 99% of the...

    Trip to Saturn: Constant Acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 - Is It Possible?

    I adjusted my equations and found the error (was multiplying by 60 instead of 86,400 -- that certainly does change the results.) To "free fall" to Saturn with the assumption of Earth's gravity (and no friction) would take 6 days :) I find that kind of interesting. So at the end of the "fall"...

    Trip to Saturn: Constant Acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 - Is It Possible?

    If I am in a spaceship and it begins a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2, would I be able to stand up in the spaceship and it would feel the same as gravity? (This is assuming the fact that my feet were placed in the direction of the thrust source.) I've done some equations, and a ship...
