Wonderfest: Starship Reality-Check: The Science of Deep Space Travel - RESCHEDULED
The stars beckon. But humans evolved to survive on Earth, not to hurtle through space. For long-duration travel - interplanetary and, even, interstellar - what spacecraft accommodations are necessary? Is on-board human hibernation an option? Might we overcome the problems of space radiation and prolonged weightlessness? Finally, scientists may argue that the ideal craft for fast human interstellar travel is the "1-g starship" (perhaps similar to the Bussard Ramjet, artist's impression above), but what do the engineers say?
Speakers: Dr. Pascal Lee, SETI Institute; Tucker Hiatt, Wonderfest
