• A)If we could build a spaceship capable of traveling at a speed very near the speed of light,passengers on the ship could make a journey to a star that is 500 light-years away within their lifetimes.
• B)If we could build a spaceship capable of traveling at a speed very near the speed of light,we could send a ship to a star that is 500 light-years away and it would return just a few years after we launched it.
• C)Thanks to effects of special relativity,we could build a spaceship that could go close to the speed of light with much less fuel than we would have guessed from Newton's laws of motion.
