Hey PCH,
With the earth at 1cm wide, then the apollo would probably be a big as a neutron and our observed distance to the moon would be that much greater for the tiny apollo. So 11km/sec in our scale shrunk down to an Earth thats 1cm wide would mean the tiny apollo would take 11 minutes to traverse the diameter of the 1cm earth.
I wonder how you would calculate ship time at 11km/sec for 600,000 years or is it so slow it wouldnt be a noticable difference compared to earth time?
