Heard somewhere that warp 1 is the speed of light.  From
"star trek the motion sickness" this appears to be the case.
So what's warp 2?  Certainly not merely 2 times lightspeed.
Galactic distances would be too great.  Does anyone know the
relationship between warp numbers and velocity?

Side note:  We're probably talking psudovelocity, as they
never *actually* exceed the speed of light, but warp space
so distances get smaller.
