People say that being a part of a generation ship is such a sacrifice... I'd say it is a blessing and an honor. I'm not even sure if I'd be impressive enough to even have the right to board one if they had one, but I would do it in a heartbeat.

We’ve developed ideas for interstellar travel that have a travel time of 20 years

Not to mention-
A- What Guarantee is there that a few 100 Colonists will survive on the new Planet.
B- What will the Results be on the Astronauts, from the cumulative effects of Radiation, from 19,000 years of Space Travel ?!

3018 ship to 2018 ship:
"On your left"

We'd be lucky to make a ship that could last a100 years.

Problem, humans can’t colonize another STAR. It’s PLANETS - specifically human-habitable planets.
|
Helios II went fast by going CLOSER to the sun (basically falling towards it from the altitude of the Earth). Going FARTHER from the sun isn't similar.
|
Even if in the far future humanity could create spaceship that could travel with only 10-30% of light speed, Human civilization would move on from solar system civilization (type 2) to interstellar civilization (type 2+).
For the current civilization, it is still impossible due to technological and energy limitations, but colonization of the low earth orbit, moon, and mars is still achievable.

How would you build a space ship that would last 19,000 years?
|
parker solar probe went 200km/s 720,000km/h and its already at 6300 years
|
Humans are frikin’ stupid…
|
dumb video. Travelers from slow generation ship would still have contact with earth and potentially faster ship could catch up with them and take them aboard.

People will never leave the solar system, go it!❤

Well, at least the close captioning is entertaining!
