How To Develop The Solar System and Beyond: A Roadmap to Interstellar Space (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The Star Voyager roadmap is born in the wake of a new enthusiasm created by the 100 Year Star Ship interstellar joint initiative of DARPA and NASA AMES (100 year starship, 100yss.org). The Star Ship program, for the first time in history, has fully opened up the interstellar travel theme as a domain for serious scientific collaboration and public participation. This roadmap describes potential scenarios for our immediate space faring future and demonstrates how these will support and contribute to the overall goal of achieving interstellar travel. This work in progress looks at both the infrastructure and the expedient strategies critical for interstellar travel. It focuses on the first 100 years as a reasonable time frame to identify the plausible milestones necessary to attain a continuous and extensive space-faring capability.
