An ambitious effort for an
interstellar travel planning
organization officially kicked off this
week, after DARPA awarded $
500,000 to form the 100-Year
Starship initiative. Former astronaut
Mae Jemison, whose proposal was
selected earlier this year, will lead
the new independent organization.
The goal is to ensure that the
capability for human interstellar
travel exists within the next 100
years.
It may not look like the starship
Enterprise, but a real interstellar
vessel is possible within that
timeframe, Jemison said. “Yes, it can
be done. Our current technology arc
is sufficient,” she said in a
statement.
In its first year, the organization will
seek new investors and develop new
ideas for interstellar exploration, the
new 100YSS website says. A public
symposium is planned for
September in Houston, where
anyone from engineers to
philosophers will be able to present
papers and host talks about the
challenges of such a project. The
100-Year Starship is not necessarily
a ship per se, but an organization
that can last 100 years and
potentially carry out the vision of a
real starship. It will look for input
from scientists, engineers, doctors,
sociologists, writers (!), ethicists and
public policy experts.
The 100-Year Starship project also
has a new scientific research partner
called The Way, an awesomely
named spinoff that will focus on
“speculative, long-term science and
technology,” according to the
project. We can't wait to see what
they come up with.

manusia mencoba membangun pesawat luar angkasa untuk perjalan antar bintang, selain itu spin off dari tehnologi yang akan di gunakan di pesawat antar bintang ini bisa sangat bermanfaat pada kehidupan manusia di bumi.
