I wonder if you have to start slowing down when you are half way there?


If you have been accelerating continuously, yes.

Well, I think some genius is going to figure out a way where they can go full acceleration 3/4 of the way there and start slowing down and completing the flight by gravity breaking around mars or/and one of it’s moons.

You ask me, mars is interesting, but a large asteroid might have a bigger payoff.
