How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 107 metric tons to a speed of 0.458 c?

Tries 0/20

Every day our Earth receives 1.55×10²² J energy from the Sun. If we were able to use 0.85 percent of this energy to accelerate spaceships, then how many missions would be possible in one year?
