Re: Slingshot
what's the escape velocity of the target system?
​
The only things with enough gravity I'm aware of to actually capture something going .5C is a black hole. Maybe a pulsar or some other neutron star, and that's only because we won't be traveling at the speed of light.
​
Not exactly our target system, is it?
