Spring Gun: Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start
that is 6.9 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away.

After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to
other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s.
