<shrug>Do the math yourself. Don't just yell at people who do about what happened when they did the math. I did nothing more than see how long it would take to cross 144 AU at a constant 5% of c and add that to the 36 days of acceleration.

As to parking, if I had 1 G capability I'd normally be landing and not parking.

This is starting to be a sidetrack.
