RE: starship-design: Is A Star Ship Practical Today ???

As you usual, you have totally mixed up your math. Frames of reference do
NOT enter into the calculation in any way. It doesn't matter where (or what
frame of reference) you get your energy from, the equation still tends to
infinity. Since there isn't an amount of energy GREATER than infinity in any
frame of reference, you are NEVER going to accelerate any ship to the speed
of light. Period.

Which explains why NASA and other people with half a brain are looking for
ways AROUND the speed of light barrier.
