Reading science fiction kind of lost its appeal after my third year of college physics. The laws of physics are a bytch. Interstellar travel is not possible. Should be called science fantasy.
You can't invent something that defies the laws of physics.
So all the laws of physics are fully known and understood?? I doubt we even know 1% of what is really possible out there...
Ok I have to hope for some scientific break through in relative physics to happen then I have to hope that technology will be invented that can apply that yet fore unknown advance in physics. Yeah, ok.
Well, we’re not going to go to Alpha Centauri at 0.99c first time around. Not even close. Radar will be invaluable on these first trips. I don’t know why people even brought up those speeds as a way to prove we’ll never be able to do interstellar travel. I guess they’re just impressed with themselves knocking down straw men.
I am thinking large rubber band plus warp drive.
It is the combination that makes it work.
There are many obstacles such as space pigeons that you cannot avoid.

#43 Abracadabra is an incantation that will be used in future space travel
Possible but to my mind unlikely.
Such an undertaking would be a major project that would consume a lot of assets. Particularly if it was a Generation Ship.
Such a mission would of historical significance on parallel with the campaign to reach the moon.
Maybe the moon landing will slip in to the obscure facts of history in the; future who can tell. Perhaps it will if trips to the moon become as common as trips to the Grand Canyon.
But I just don’t think it would. If a mission is planned that will duplicate a mission that set out 125 years earlier but had not been completed yet and the new mission will make the trip in 2 years I am fairly confident that some history buff would bring it to the attention of some news writer and it would get public attention.
Man, I have been looking for that book forever forever forever....thank you thank you thank you
