Its not that complicated really, it just takes a bit of reading up. you should be able to get your money back, or at the very least they should swap the parts for…
It's all related, Rooster. Say we leisurely ferry all of our materials into space and build an ship in orbit, and it uses some fancy supardupar warp drive to make it to Planet X in a few months.

I really appreciated all the advice you all shared and I figured I would let everyone know what I ended up getting and the specs included.
