"Time Dilation: The Communication Challenge for Interstellar Astronauts"

Interstellar travel would present significant communication challenges due to the finite speed of light and time dilation. Messages sent to spacecraft traveling at near light speed would experience significant time delays, and spacecraft would suffer severe communication blackout periods. Different scenarios, such as constant acceleration or deceleration, would introduce their own set of challenges. Communication with near-light-speed spacecraft would be very challenging, requiring interstellar vehicles to operate independently. Interstellar travel would be a lonely journey with limited communication capabilities.
