"The foldspace drives can only be used outside of any gravity well, so we'll have to clear the solar system before we can go FTL. That'll take two weeks. Then we can initiate the foldspace jump. My mathematicians estimate that it will take us three years and 34 days to reach our destination. Fortunately, when we enter foldspace, we can all enter stasis pods on the lower deck, so for most of us it will feel like no time at all. But in the mean time, we can be the first people to see things like Mars and Jupiter up close with our own eyes."
