> Mind you, this simulation is conservative. It assumes that the ships have a range limited to 10 light years — about a dozen stars are within this distance of Earth — and travel at 1% the speed of light.

For comparison the fastest we have done is 200 km/sec and that's doing various gravity gymnastics by Parker Solar probe. 1% speed of light is about 3,000 km/sec.
