Calculating time (Relativity)?

The clock on board the spaceship will mark the page of time exactly as though it was still stationary on Earth. Thus for the spaceship moving at almost the speed of light the trip will take slightly more than 18,000 years. However, if an observer stationary relative to the spaceship could see the clock aboard the ship, the trip would take about 164,512 years.
