This is a similar, yet more feasible Intergalactic Space Craft, that can carry 40 Orion's, and is explained fully.

Now when they do make the jump to C, everyone inside is turned into shapeless paste, thats the only draw back, and I don't think there is a reasonable solution yet.

I disagree. Look at some of the things we have done in the past with what we had then, and look out how much we have now, and how little we are doing. Here are some of the tools that would aid the Star Ship giant, such as this,

We are making discoveries all of the time, we are advancing faster than ever, and in 500 years, sheesh, this is a merciful undertaking.

"We believed the world would not be the same, a few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent, I remembered a line from the Hindu scripture, the bagavagita, Vishnu was trying to convince the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, he takes on his multi-armed form and says, Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, in one way or another"

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
