Time to Neptune
Assuming a direct flight at the fastest speed yet attained (44,000 MPH I think) it
would take 6.9 years.

That is assuming no time for acceleration or deceleration.

Adding in those factors = really long time.

Neptune is 2.68 billion miles from earth!

If we had a spacecraft capable of accelerating to the 1/2 way point then
decelerating the other half at 1G or maybe 1.5G it probably would take less time,
but I do not have the math skills to calculate it.
