@bolt451 1G acceleration isn't nothing! Sustained for
24 hours, 1G gives you roughly 850km/sec, 0.2% of c, fast enough to travel directly from Earth orbit to Mars orbit in about a day. Keep it up for a month and you're moving at 6% of light speed. Keep it up for a year and you're getting into serious relativistic time dilation territory.
