It is year 2080 and we have figure out a propulsion system that allowsspaceships travel at velocities as high as v0.75c. A first expedition toAlpha Centauri (the nearest planetary system) is being planned. AlphaCentauri is 4.3 ly away.Answer the following 5 questions below asking you about the details ofthis expedition.
