Rocket speed could be changed from 0.01c to 0.99c. Time on rocket means time spent for rocket to reach the planet, which is measured on the rocket. Time on Earth means time spent for rocket to reach the planet, which is measured on Earth. c is the speed of light. The first plus button increases distance by 1 light-year. The second plus button increases rocket speed by 0.01c.
