A spacecraft starts from rest, and makes a journey to a destination 458000 km from its starting point. It does so by accelerating at a constant rate of 6.46 m/s^2 up to the midpoint of the journey, and then decelerates at the same constant rate of 6.46 m/s^2 for the second half of the journey, ending at rest. How long did the entire journey take?
