I do have a question, that may have been already answered by some of the commentators, so I may stumble upon it eventually, but just in case it was not asked, I can't help but wonder if you did the GR calculations yourselves for the trip to Newhome or if you used an online calculator like omni?

It is wonderful to have you aboard, @tiedinbluetights. When you have finished reading this, I hop that you will continue with the Bandit Scout on Newhome. You can find it by clicking on my banner.

To answer your question. I did the calculations using Python. But it is all Special Relativity and not General Relativity. Traveling mostly through essentially empty space, that is probably a reasonable approximation.

Awesome, a fellow Python coder! (But I do miss Fortran-77, on a PDP-11 system no less; I'm too old; at least punched cards were before my time). Bookmarked the Bandit Scout on Newhome story! Now onto some reading...
