# --description--
For day three of Space Week, you are given an array of numbers representing distances (in kilometers) between yourself, satellites, and your home planet in a communication route. Determine how long it will take a message sent through the route to reach its destination planet using the following constraints:
- The first value in the array is the distance from your location to the first satellite.
- Each subsequent value, except for the last, is the distance to the next satellite.
- The last value in the array is the distance from the previous satellite to your home planet.
- The message travels at 300,000 km/s.
- Each satellite the message **passes through** adds a 0.5 second transmission delay.
- Return a number rounded to 4 decimal places, with trailing zeros removed.

`send_message([300000, 300000])` should return `2.5`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(send_message([300000, 300000]), 2.5)`)
}})
```
`send_message([384400, 384400])` should return `3.0627`.

```
`send_message([1000000, 500000000, 1000000])` should return `1674.3333`.
