In this chapter, they discuss the concept of the 100 year Starship and the need to think outside the usual technological limitations to reach another star. They highlight the discovery of Proximus and Chury B as potential platforms for space exploration. They emphasize the importance of including humans in the journey, as it pushes the platform forward and raises questions about sustainability.
How can we achieve interstellar space travel? We take a look back at when Neil deGrasse Tyson sat down with former astronaut and Principal of 100 Year Starship, Dr. Mae Jemison, to talk about our future living and traveling in space.
