Exploration is a human trait. For as long as humans have walked the Earth they have been inspired to achieve more and search further. For those interested in spaceflight, the greatest adventure of them all is to journey through interstellar space. This book discusses five prominent interstellar propulsion systems and analyses their feasibility. It also discusses a relevant interstellar travel case study method.

This book develops a credible scenario for interstellar exploration and colonization. In so doing, it examines: • the present situation and prospects for interstellar exploration technologies; • where to go: the search for habitable planets; • the motivations for space travel and colonization; • the financial mechanisms required to fund such enterprises. The final section of the book analyzes the uncertainties surrounding the presented scenario. The purpose of building a scenario is not only to pinpoint future events but also to highlight the uncertainties that may propel the future in different directions. Interstellar travel and colonization requires a civilization in which human beings see themselves as inhabitants of a single planet and in which global governance of these processes is conducted on a cooperative basis. The key question is, then, whether our present civilization is ready for such an endeavor, reflecting the fact that the critical uncertainties are political and cultural in nature. It is written in such a way as to allow the non-professional reader to become part of the debate on the future of space programs.

Based on algebraic equations, their numerical solutions & pure logic, the conclusions derived therefrom in the unusual book are as follows: Our universe is not infinite & all gravitational fields have their own limited radia. The gravitational constant was never constant, but right after the big bang moment started to decrease continuously. The first subatomic particles were electrons & positrons & served gravitational purposes only, but after the very soon appearing protons, the electrostatic character of the charged elementary particles slowly became more dominant, while their calculable gravitational part is mostly declining. Furthermore, the universe is much older than presently estimated & therefore also much larger than could be measured by optical telescopy or radio astronomy. With regard to future interstellar ventures, manned interstellar space voyages are virtually impossible, & that not only because of a certain condition of the Special Theory of Relativity, but also because of the years required to bridge the space & time gap between our Earth & even the nearest stars. Moreover, at very high speeds, any material's mass defect & thus its nuclear forces start to increase. To order: Hugo Fonck, 200 Richardson Dr., Mill Valley, CA 94941 or 415-383-2617

The great scientific, astronomical and technological advances of the 20th century inspired the science fiction genre to imagine distant worlds and futures, far beyond the discoveries of the here and now. This book explores science fiction films, television series, novels and short stories--from Lost in Space (1965-1968) to Fringe (2008-2013) to the works of Isaac Asimov and Stephen Baxter--with a focus on their underlying concepts of physics and astronomy. Assessing accuracy and plausibility, the author considers the possibilities of solar system, interstellar and faster than light travel; intelligent planets, dark (anti-) matter, the multiverse and string theory, time travel, alternate universes, teleportation and replication, weaponry, force fields, extraterrestrial life, subatomic life, emotional robots, super-human and parapsychological powers, asteroid impacts, space colonies and many other topics.

Interstellar Travel: Purpose and Motivations is a comprehensive, technical look at the necessary considerations for interstellar travel addressed by leading experts in the field, from scientists studying possible destinations (exoplanets) and the vast distances between, to those concerned with building institutions and capabilities in society that could sustain such endeavors. In addition to the technical, medical, and anthropological aspects of deep space travel, the ethics and morality of spreading Earth-based life to other worlds is also examined. In the first book of a three-book compilation, Interstellar Travel: Purpose and Motivations offers in-depth, up-to-date and realistic technical and scientific considerations in the pursuit of interstellar travel and is an integral reference for scientists, engineers, researchers and academics working on, or interested in, space development and space technologies. With a renewed interest in space exploration and development evidenced by the rise of the commercial space sector and various governments now planning to send humans back to the moon and to Mars, so also is interest in taking the next steps beyond the Solar System and to the ultimate destination - planets circling other stars.
