The star of a distant solar system explodes as a supernova. At the moment of the explosion, an resting exploration spaceship is 15 AU away from the shock wave. The shock wave of the explo- sion travels with 25000 km/s towards the spaceship. To save the crew, the spacecraft makes use of a special booster that uniformly accelerates at 150 m/s? in the opposite direction. Determine if the crew manages to escape from the shock wave. (Neglect relativistic effects.)
