A ballistic transfer between Earth and Mars. It takes about seven months to get between the two planets, and a rocket needs to get six kilometers per second of speed to get from Earth orbit to Mars orbit.

Accelerating to relativistic speeds tends to make ships look squashed! Lorentzian length contraction makes objects look compressed as they approach the speed of light.
