NASA tells us what it feels like to travel at the speed of light in this new (super cute) video - Time Out
If you've always wondered about space travel but have yet to book yourself a seat on a ship to Mars, you might really enjoy this new video by the National Aeronautics Space Association (NASA). The production explains in layman's terms what it is like to travel at the speed of light.
The first lesson to keep in mind: "A lot of weird things can happen," explains the video in a voiceover. "Time and space get all bent out of shape."
As a result, "according to the clock inside your rocket, you'd only take a bit more than half the time to reach your destination compared to what the clock on planet [Earth] would say." Which means that a trip to Mars and back would actually age those you leave behind at a much more rapid pace than you will—a sure way to stay young indeed.
