If you've jumped to hyperspace how much faster do you need to get? Is there
a range of faster than light speeds for cleaner than clean space ships?  I
would have thought such a twist in the space-time would bring you to your
destination at the same instant you leave -- but in star-wars they entered
hyperspace and then had time to sit around playing chess, practising light
sabre duelling, drinking coffee etc.  Perhaps this is because the Millennium
falcon was such a grubby thing.  It looks as though the clean spaceship vs.
dirty spaceship debate has been thrown wide open.
