Starship Reality-check: The Science of Deep Space Travel
The stars beckon. But humans evolved to survive on Earth, not to hurtle through space. For long-duration travel – interplanetary and, even, interstellar – what spacecraft accommodations are necessary? Is on-board human hibernation an option? Might we overcome the problems of space radiation and prolonged weightlessness? Finally, scientists may argue that the ideal craft for […]
