Mary, the astronaut, wants to travel to the star system Alpha Centauri, which is 4.3 lightyears away. She wants to leave on her 30th birthday, travel to Alpha Centauri but not stop, and return in time for her wedding to Vladimir on her 35th birthday. What is most likely to happen?

(a) Vladimir is a lucky man, because he will marry Mary after she completes her journey.

(b) Mary will have to hustle to get in her wedding gown, and the wedding is likely to be watched by billions of people. (c) It is a certainty that Mary will not reach Alpha Centauri if she wants to marry Vladimir as scheduled.

(d) Mary does reach Alpha Centauri before her 35th birthday and sends a radio message to Vladimir from Alpha Centauri that she will be back on time. Vladimir is relieved to receive the message before the wedding date.
