In the movie above, we continued to accelerate all the way through the Lattice and blasted out of the far side still piling on velocity. A more reasonable mission would be to accelerate until we reach the half-way point, cut the drive and turn around, and then decelerate until we come to a stop at the other side of the Lattice. We could even imagine, looping the movie, that we're operating a shuttle service between stations at opposite sides of the Lattice.
In this movie, we show a view of the Lattice accounting for Lorentz contraction, aberration, and Doppler shift every 10 days into the mission. The 180 degree turn at the midpoint is shown in real time.
