In 2030, the Australian Space Agency launches a spaceship to our nearest neighbour Alpha Centauri (4 lightyears away). How long will the journey take according to a clock on the spaceship if it travels at v=0.999c-299482km/s (where 'c' is the speed of light equal to 299782km/s). O About 6 years. Just over 2 months. O About 2 years. O About 4 years.
