Thanks for spotting! I never included this obvious test case.

Thanks for this amazing package to show how astrometric data are propagated.
But I've found that the speed of a stars is not conserved when propagating to a different epoch. For example Acturus went from ~121.7 km/s at J2000 to ~95.3 km/s at J100000. Since the propagation assumes straight-line motion at constant speed, something is wrong. I've found a typo in the code leading to speed not conserved.
Here is a code snippet that I've used to sanity check
which will print
(np.float64(121.7675972466994),) (np.float64(95.28250254167489),)and with this PR will print(np.float64(121.7675972466994),) (np.float64(121.7609982767927),)
