The Voyager spacecraft has been transported by an alien being to the Delta Quadrant of space, millions of light-years from Earth. Captain Janeway and her crew are attempting to visit all the planets on the Quadrant to collect soil samples by connecting them as a minimum spanning tree. Following is a network of the Delta Quadrant, where the nodes are different worlds, planetary systems, and space anomalies, and the values on the branches are the actual times, in years, between nodes. Determine the minimum possible way to connect all planets so the spacecraft can travel. Start from the node 1, where the Voyager is currently located at. The Earth does not have to be the last stop as long as all planets are connected.
