At low speeds, it is almost exactly equal to the Newtonian formula. At high speeds, it diverges from it.
I guess 'almost' is good enough for Dark Shakari. Get off my lawn.
Well its good enough for NASA, who do not use the Einsteinian formulas because they are too computationally complex; apparently Newtonian math is good enough for traveling across the solar system 
Of course, the only reason to use Einstein is when you are dealing with large distances and extreme speeds. Newton got it right from what he could observe, which were small distances, such as the size of a solar system, and relatively slow speeds compared to light.
NASA operates completely within small distances and slow speeds, therefore, there is little reason to go beyond Newtonian physics.

Both of you kids get off my lawn!

Exactly my point

So.... what all of you guys are saying is... that light uses cheat-codes to achieve a velocity which isn't possible to anyone else?...
