v5 v6 44 44 This gives $L=8.6 pc$ 45 45 46 where if we calculate $T_p (\mathcal{V}-v)$ we get $.6 pc^ 46 where if we calculate $T_p (\mathcal{V}-v)$ we get $0.6 pc$ 47 48 The travel time to the nearest star is a factor of 3 longer than the launch period - and the travel time to the maximum probe range is another factor of 10 on top of that, so $.6 pc$ is definitely a lower bound. There is also potentially a selection bias in that the fastest moving systems (those out in front) will likely target systems moving quickly in the other direction... 49
