  • LSI is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, for more information, visit us at www.limitlessspace.org/.
    LSI is pleased to present the short inspirational-educational film titled “Go Incredibly Fast”.
    The purpose of this short film is to identify the perennial time-distance problem of human space exploration beyond Mars and to identify a few propulsion approaches we might utilize to send humans to all the worlds in our solar system and reach out across the vast distances between stars. The spacecraft architectures highlighted in the film are nuclear electric propulsion (known physics, known engineering), fusion propulsion (known physics, unknown engineering), and finally space warps (unknown physics, unknown engineering).
    This film is targeted for a broad audience with the purpose of triggering interest to dig deeper and learn more - there really is much more to know and learn. There are other approaches that might be utilized to great effect as well such as solar sails, beamed energy propulsion, anti-matter propulsion to name but a few - the film is just the tip of the iceberg!
    We hope you enjoy the film, and if it leaves you inspired to learn more, take action…enabling bold exploration of our outer solar system and the stars is an all-hands-on-deck challenge.
    Godspeed!

      Anyways, as Jesus Christ…
      I find it baffling that physicists all across the world do not express interest in the only real method of interstellar travel: light propulsion.
      I work at NASA, and I am about to ask President Biden for a giant laser to propel a high temperature shape memory alloy torque tube-steered solar-sail to 20% the speed of light, reaching the Centauri’s in around 20 years, (if peak velocities check out with what God told me in my dreams.)
      Talk about “more than 20/20 vision babe,” because from my POV I even have the intellectual freedom to disprove the Big Bang, as the red-shift of photons across vast distance is not caused by the alleged expansion of the universe with matter moving away from us, but because the wavelengths of light stretch into longer wavelengths causing red-shift, as they follow the distance traveling through dips along the space-time continuum which appears longer than the true displacement across space alone.

      Yep, and sadly it will not work. Even if the weird physics to make it work somehow is solved.
      The energy cost is so stupidly high the craft is unable to carry the fuel or reactor that's needed to make it work - here I talk about nuclear fuel meaning Tritium + He3 or better.
      No reactor that's have to be fitted inside a ship can be made to work on such an energy level either. Not even if one bring a tame black hole - which would be the ultimate energy converter.
      It's the energy equivalent of many +10 000 of stars at the same time, and to have that process running for the entire trip.
      So it's a big dream, but it simply will not happen well except........
      If humanity do extremely well and we become a Kardashev III civ in the far far future, then those distant descendants of us might do it once or twice just to show off.
      ...or if they find they have urgent need to look at something new or unexpected.
      But for our dreams of going elsewhere and colonise new worlds, we better take better care of our backyard first, it will be only a small fraction of a ‰ of the very best and suitable that can go, and only on slow boat. And possibly only as stored templates, to be reconstructed on arrival. To travel physically in your own body look quite unlikely. The ideas about freezing and other various ideas of keeping the passengers in long term dormant state fail to address the problem of radiation that will break down both the genetic code, and over time also cause damage to vital enzymes and hormones - while the repair mechanisms for those will be frozen and dormant as well and so unable to repair the damage.
      So perhaps we humans can piggyback in a memory storage array, and perhaps have replicants of ourselves made at any destination - which would be cool.
      But the universe belong to the machines, and the idea of cute little spaceships with windows and a star ship captain that say 'engage' and add a dramatic hand gesture...... is by far the least probable scenario we'll ever see.

    Research engineer here. Long story short, start with instruments.
    Alcubierre-style drives require a type of negative energy field. The first attempts to create it in a lab will probably make only tiny ones. So, the first order of business won't be to create a field, but to create instruments capable of measuring tiny ones.
    On the bright side, independent confirmation of even a tiny warp-style negative energy field would be international news to say the least. Funding for the next stage should not be a problem.
    I estimate the odds of success at less than 10%, but that's not uncommon for research. As long as investors fully understand where the money is going and just how bad the challenges are, this is not a con game, it's just research. A lot more money has been spent on much worse ideas.

Unfortunately the paper was rather ambiguous as to points of convergence, number of lasers required for a theoretical model, or if any gaseous medium was required for interaction (ie. H2 etc), still while the concept read as unintended to be considered in application of "Warp Drive", it was still incredibly interesting.

    okay...here's what we do: we build a large spacecraft section (cylindrical, spins for artificial gravity). then, we build at least 4 Fusion engine modules and align them like a "+" at the back of the spacecraft. then, we build a protective shield at the front of the spacecraft, since the goal for this idea is to make the spacecraft go at least 10% the speed of light. at this speed, unprotected spacecraft would be literally eroded away by microdust particles. the spacecraft could house a maximum of 10,000 people, but the starting passenger count is anywhere from 100-200. This spacecraft, theoretically, could reach proxima centauri in 50 years time. We dont need an alcubiere drive. we just need to keep on adding fusion engines and shielding systems until the travel time gets to around 5-10 years. NASA, just give me a call and I can get you a design that will get you to alpha centauri in a reasonable timeframe.

    This awesome video looks like an intro to a blockbuster sci-fi film in the same line as "Interstellar" ...

    I become curious when watch these kinds of videos. The animation when the ship is warping make me really want to go there. Congrats such a beautiful video, easy to understand.
