An astronaut travels to a star system 4.5 ly away at a speed of
0.90 c. Assume that the time needed to accelerate and
decelerate is negligible. The astronaut sends a ratio message back
towards Earth as soon as she arrives in the star system. How much
time elapses between the launch from earth and the arrival of the
radio message?
