In Response To: Re: Error on MSP timeline? (Forrest of B.org)

: Uh, I just posted a big response to this and apparently it didn't take for
: some reason. Basically though, I strongly disagree. Fiction exists in it's
: own universe and you can't use things in the real world to disprove it.
: Besides which, I could make justifications based on story information
: alone, aside from that philosophical qualm.

What reason could there be for moving a whole star 80ly when setting up a fictional universe? Was it THAT HARD to look up astronomical data in 1994?

: The Marathon uses a Bussard Ramjet which is supposed to propel a ship at
: speeds eventually reaching a good portion of the speed of light, so taking
: 300 years to travel 92 lightyears for an average speed around 1/3 the
: speed of light seems reasonable to me.

Account for acceleration.
