Help on designing a board game

I'm trying to design a simple board game based on Einstein's theory of relativity, but I'm currently stuck on the development, specially mechanics-wise.

The core idea is that players are astronauts exploring space, but each player experiences time differently depending on the speed they move.

Initially, the game would have an hexagon board for movement (much like Voyagers) and the players would pick "speed cards" from a deck and move accordingly. And that's where I ran out of ideas... I've tried to make a simple prototype to test this, but it was a huge mess.

I'd lovec some honest feedback and any ideas related to the movement mechanics, gameplay objectives etc.

I'll be posting the updates as I make changes
