This chapter explores the limitations of chemical energy and discusses the importance of alternative energy sources such as fission, fusion, and antimatter for interstellar travel. It emphasizes the need for research and investment in energy solutions.
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.
