About this ebook
A journey to the stars pushes the boundaries of science and technology, while profoundly expanding the human imagination. Beginning with the history of space travel, this study explores the challenges and speed limits of intergalactic travel. Einstein's theory of relativity and efforts to go beyond the speed of light reveal the innovative propulsion systems of the future, from antimatter engines to solar surfing technologies.
Aspects such as energy management, ethical issues and social transformations show that reaching the stars is not only a technological but also a human challenge. Ideas ranging from Dyson spheres to solarium energy harvesting to a comparison of human and robot missions take the reader on a fascinating journey into the unknowns of the universe. This boundless curiosity for the sky is combined with promising theories and projects about our potential to reach for the stars.
