Yeah, that was my point--they only had to travel four days at warp 5, which
is not very far.

Well how fast is warp 7 then? That's top cruising speed of the Enterprise
refit (isn't it?) and Vulcan's only 4 days away at the end of TMP... Scotty
tells Spock they can have him back on Vulcan in 4 days, should he so
desire...
I mean, to get 1 light year in a day, you'd have to be going at 365 times
the speed of light- Warp 1 is the speed of light... carry the
eleventy-two... um...
Well anyway, if warp 5's that slow, it's a wonder anybody ever uses it. Let
alone Warp 2 or whatnot...
