Q&A 92: Can We Accelerate At 1G Like In The Expanse? Featuring Sophia Gad-Nasr

In this week's QA, I tackle constant acceleration. Do we have anything that can accelerate at 1G for long periods of time? Why are there different sized stars? And do the heavier elements come from supernovae or colliding neutron stars?
