Three astronauts leave Cape Canaveral, fly to Mars and back, and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean. An Admiral bids them goodbye at the Cape and then sails to the Pacific Ocean in an aircraft carrier where he picks them up. Who has the greater displacement, the admiral, or the astronauts?

A group of Loyola students decided to depart from Earth after graduation to find work on Mars. Before building a shuttle, they conducted careful calculations. A model for the velocity of the shuttle, from liftoff at t = 0 s until the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned at t = 84.8 s, is given by ?(?)=0.001111333?^3−0.085745?^2+30.69?+9.71 (in feet per second).
