Which risk increases when accelerating an ideal rocket indefinitely?

A)Propellant energy exceeds exhaust limits
B)Equivalence principle breaks down completely
C)Spacecraft integrity suffers spallation fractures
D)Coriolis forces destabilize navigation systems

💡 Explanation

The propellant's energy must increase without bound as velocity nears *c*, because mass-energy equivalence necessitates increasing mass increases momentum and energy; therefore the rocket's energy input grows faster than available thrust, leading to exhaust failure rather than structural issues.
