Aiming for Stars

“If you want to have a hobby, why cannot it be designing an interstellar spacecraft?” said Andreas Tziolas, who teaches at University of Alaska.



DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced an award of $500,000 for the organization which technically, sociology and ethically send human to another star. The $500k is just initial money to conduct research. The magnitude of such research will take a century. DARPA- NASA has silently started this “100-Year Starship Study” with a three day public symposium. This doesn't alone consist of rocket technology but also legal, religious, philosophical concerns and most important thing is to inspire the public to support this costly vision. This plan has generated a buzz among the people who dream of space travel. This dream has never died and this will fuel their science fiction dream in designing spacecraft that could travel across stars.
This will be the most expensive vision in the world !!.
