About this item

The Case For Pandora provides a visionary explanation of near term prospects for human interstellar spaceflight. Included herein are details for a conceptual design of a highly plausible space-ark style starship that can bridge the distances between stars in hundreds of years or less. This book delves deeply into the topics of proposed materials of spacecraft construction, propulsion systems, life support systems, shielding, and other essential aspects of realistic starship design. The authors make a compelling case for the possibilities of design, assembly, and launch of starships bound for our stellar neighbors during the 21st Century. Perhaps within a few decades, a bold global or multinational project can began aimed toward human spaceflight to the nearby Proxima Centauri system thus making The Case For Pandora, a reality.
