Possibly we should have some explanation of the Limit and general speeds.
Rule #5: Handwavium and engines tend to produce speed-drives, which allow vehicles to fly in atmosphere and in space. In general Space Craft operate between 0.05c and 0.1c outside the atmosphere and inside the Limit; under the same conditions, Space Ships operate between 0.025c and 0.05c while Space Vessels have trouble moving faster than 0.025c.
a) Faster-than-Light travel is rare and thus far requires that you first move outside the Limit, a notional boundary approximately 8 light hours away from the sun.
b) Travel within a few hundred miles of a planet is slower with a wide variation in how much slower. Movement between surface and orbit in either direction usually takes hours using Speed Drives but some vehicles are better at this.
Thoughts? Particularly on a)?

You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
