I'm sorry I didn't have many characters to work with. but I've been dreaming about an actual space travel simulator.

I suppose if we take relativity into account, and you are going very close to the speed of light, then the stars would be in your reach. That's because the faster you go, the faster time around you go's. While you may experience an hour, the rest of the world behind you may have centuries, or eons. A journey to Proxima Centauri, may take months or weeks for you, but you won't get there by NASA's clocks on Earth for over 4 years. I think Einstein had that in mind, but you should look it up.

Fast enough that the nearest stars would only be a few minutes away; figure... a light year / minute.
That'll get you across the solar system - from one point on Pluto's orbit to the other in about 6 seconds.

I would set it up to accelerate and decelerate at 1g, which is 10 meters per second squared or 0.01 kilometers per second squared. That gets you to the Moon in hours, Mars in days and other stars in years, although you have to take relativity effects into account if you go fast enough to travel to stars in only years and not centuries..

Go back to your dream world, lord andy.
Pleasant dreams. The best place to fritter away your time.
