Hi Kelly,
Rex letter made me look back at out letters from last week.
When I use the following numbers:
Vexh=0.0667c (2E7 m/s)
dV =0.3c (9E7 m/s)
and the classic rocket formula:
M=Exp[dV/Vexh]
I get:
M=90
and not the 148 (or 150) you seemed to get.
Is this the reason for the confusion that had arised?
Timothy
