• Resumen

  • Interstellar travel is a topic that interests many students of general introductory astronomy and an important topic to cover when discussing life in the universe in such a course or even more extensively in a specific course on the subject. Unfortunately, what most students know about the topic comes from science fiction, where they routinely see relativity, especially time dilation and the cosmic speed limit, ignored.
