Traveling to the Nearest Star at .5c - How Long Does It Take

[peron]

I am doing report and I need to know how fast it will take you to get to the nearest star at .5c?

Thanks.

Quick google - http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/extra/nearest.html

So proxima centurai - 4.2 light years would take you 8.4 years (at 0.5c) relative to somewhere stationary and to you it would be;

around about 7.3 years ish from my calculations.

good luck with your report
