      calling things "problems" implies there are solutions to them a lot of things that get called problems aren't problems, they're constraints

      Space is big. Really big. Staggeringly huge, actually. You may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. And 300k km/s is practically standing still, spacewise.

      Tangent: For the superhero book I'm occasionally writing, I wanted a character who can fly to be able to get anywhere on earth in ten minutes. Take a guess at how fast she has to be able to fly to do that, off the top of your head.

      72000 miles per hour, or 120 miles per second, or approximately Mach 95.

      So Mach 95, or at least ten times faster than the fastest aircraft ever built. How long would it take her to get to the Moon? Not counting slowing down - inertia is sort of optional for her anyway - about three and a half HOURS.

      The good news, though, is that 120Miles/second is well past escape velocity for the Earth/Moon system. But not for the Solar System, which is not that big a deal, because it would take her about seventeen YEARS to reach the heliopause, and about forty THOUSAND years to Proxima.

      see that's why you should give your superheroes a maximum acceleration, not a maximum speed

          That's not her maximum speed. That's her minimum top speed. Although I reserve the right to change my mind, at this point she does not have a maximum speed. She's basically the Superman of this 'verse.

          There comes a point - and it doesn't take long - where scaling up doesn't get much sillier when it comes to superheroes. For instance, at one point she goes from a standstill to supersonic in less than a second. If she can take that kind of acceleration...
