Gromadrag,

Formulas may look complicated, but they're easy once you get the hang.



The E on the left refers to Energy, measured in Joules.
The m to the right of the = refers to Mass, the mass of the spaceship in kilograms
The C squared means the speed of light in meters per second, squared. The creates a very, very large number
The big crooked thingie is the symbol for square-root. So, we will take the square root of everything under it.
Under the square root thingie we have a fraction within a fraction, and the inner-most part is V squared divided by C squared.
V is the velocity you want the spaceship to travel at.
C is the speed of light again.

Does this help?

I under stand it completely, well, the E=MC2/Finding out how much speed a space ship will travel part because of you.
