An
astronaut leaves from Earth to Planet X. The planet is 10 light
years away. The rocketship can accelerate at 10 m/s/s and in order
to land on the planet it has to deacelerate at the same rate. If
the astronaut leaves Earth in 2019 and goes to Planet X and back,
what year can they get back to Earth the earliest?
