Say you have two plants on opposite sides of the sun, one is at 1 AU and the other is at 3 AUs- that means that they are 4 AUs apart, if the ship can go through the sun, then yes, that would be true, so increase that to 5 AUs because they have to go around the sun and all that.  Now what would be a good time for that to take?  A week?  A month?  If its a month then 60,000 AUs is going to be a pain cause that would be like 12,000 months.  A might beyond the time line that I want to work with.However if the 5 AU trip only takes a day then we are talking only 10 days out to 50 AUs and that seems a might to fast for what I want to do.I know that you are Mr Physics- which means you are smart, I know that I should hear you of all people out on this.  Thank you all for your time, your patients, and your brain power.  I am only asking for your thought, which you have given in kindness- thank you.</blockquote>
