: BUT what G forces would the crew have to tolerate in a 92 light year voyage
: over a period of 301 years?

Actually no. There have been some decent *real* studies about colonizing other worlds in slowboats. If you go 0.05 to .1 G nobody's going to notice except when they play baseball.

Ok, I did some rough calculations and the Marathon would have to have a constant acceleration less than 0.001 G to make the trip last that long.

And remember it's an 11.9 ly voyage - not 92.
