Time Dilation, Spaceship Problem

In summary: Maybe you should ask someone more experienced?I wish I could but I really don't know what you did wrong. Your result does not come from the expression. You're probably not using your calculator correctly. Try doing one step at a time instead of the whole expression and post that here that way we can figure where the problem is.

So the answer is t=32.1 years. Don't forget the units and avoid excessive number of significant figures.

Sure thing. Thank you.
