So... how badly have I messed up my analysis? At hard-science
late-TL8, just how far /can/ you rocket in 15 hours?
You can just barely get from the moon to the earth.
a reason I laugh at "Despicable me"...
(
Note for reference that it took three days for the apollo missions to
get to lunar orbit:

)
here's a tool I use:

With turnover:
this gives an earth-moon trip at 0.06G with a total of 14.5h
an earth-mars trip needs 40G to beat 15h.
your Earth-venus conjunction of .28AU (assuming you can travel the
straight line, which doesn't happen in orbits), can be done in 15h with
5.02G .
