I don't have access to a program that would let me calculate the velocity attained from a constant 9.8m/s acceleration sustained for 45 years so I'm wondering about two things: (a) how many years would pass before relativistic effects became meaningful, and (b) how many years would pass before 99.999% of c had been reached and thus further acceleration at the same rate would become essentially infeasible?
