It's a fantasy as long as you are still living under the tyranny of the rocket equation.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoI don't think anybody thinks such a ship is possible with chemical rockets.
- reddiky 5y agoJust need Astrophage /s
- DesiLurker 5y agoHa, got the Hail Mary ref.
- jandrese 5y agoIt's worse than that. It's not possible with any type of rocket. If you are accelerating by pushing mass in an opposite direction then you'll never build a ship that can accelerate at 1G for years at a time. Unless we invent a reactionless drive the idea of traveling between solar systems remains a pipe dream.
