Water is the key to getting to the planets. Not speed. One part of the upcoming Artemis 3 mission is to land near our moon's south pole to find ice. Then a lunar colony.
Then on to the Martian poles.
Einstein, gravity and time dilation are a whole other discussion.

Ah E=mc2 Einstein, my main man! Got a logic test book of his, quite fun little book indeed. Yeup merican has sent probes into space, I remember when Voyager was launched back in the 70's we did class projects back then. Speed? Theory of relitivity, time and space etc. I do think Ion, plasma or fusion drives will be the wave of the future propelling us to our chosen spots a little quicker, remember our Wright bros? well pardner they would have never imagined Mericas sr-71 black bird. Our rockets are pretty slow with their solid and liquid powered engines, so the future holds great promise for us space buffs...
