Ha, I nearly posted a Feynman video on time dilation last week with the glib remark that you get to experience time dilation while watching it because his deadpan delivery just makes time stretch out in front of you.
The main point though is that due to space time being constrained by E=mc^2, anything travelling at the speed of light does not experience time or space. Its origin and arrival are instantaneous (from its perspective, not ours, because we have mass).

No I think it's right. The fuel requirement is the thing that keeps us from hopping in a rocket and going for a ride. Project Hail Mary just invented a fuel that solved the problem but with any luck we won't have astrophage come eat our sun. So we're stuck here.
The Martian used a less powerful engine but as I understand it, could eventually get to time-dilation speeds. That is, the astrophage engine in the youtube accelerated at 1.5G continuously so it got going real fast real quick. But the Ion propulsion engine can do constant acceleration too, so over time, it will also approach the speed of light.

This from Jake in the desert The little theater I went to the other day for, 'Beetlejuice' Beetlejuice is showing 'They Live' starting at the end of this month, one of my favorite flicks that I've seen several times but never on the big screen. Wifey has agreed to go see it with me, and she's never seen it at all- her first time seeing it will be in this theater! So psyched, can't stop thinking about it ...
Who else, if not Michael Whelan has had such an enormous influence on us through his artwork and illustrations on Science Fiction and Fantasy writing? - Reading novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, E.R. Burroughs, Isaac Asimov and many others, this artist has shaped archetypes in our minds through his paintings and illustrations of their work, also see here and here.
So if the republicans claim embryos are alive and women can be charged with murder for taking the morning after pill, shouldn't doctors who implant an embryo be charged with murder for taking an embryo from its perfectly safe frozen life if the procedure doesn't take?
How could you freeze a viable organism? Isn't that false imprisonment? FREEDOM!
If it can be born, bring that uterus on over and lets get busy populatin'!
Once it's born, we can make money throwing it in jail.
