Abstract:
I compute the proper time passage experienced by the crew of a spacecraft undergoing constant one gravity acceleration, on a round-trip between various astronomical objects and the Earth. A trip to the centre of our Galaxy would require 60,000 years to pass on Earth, but only 40 years would pass according to the crew. A trip to the Andromeda Galaxy would require 4.2 million years to pass on Earth, but only 58 years would pass according to the crew. A trip to the Virgo Cluster would require 120 million years to pass on Earth, but only 72 years would pass according to the crew.
