Going Interstellar

Some humans may be content staying in one place, but many of us are curiousabout what’s beyond the next village, the next ocean, the next horizon.

Are there others like us out there? How will we reach them? Others are concerned

with the survival of the species. It may be that we have to get out of Dodge

before the lights go out on Earth. How can we accomplish this? Wonderful

questions. Now get ready for some answers.

Here is the science behind interstellar propulsion: reports from top tierscientists and engineers on starflight propulsion techniques that use only means

and methods that we currently know are scientifically possible. Here are

in-depth essays on antimatter containment, solar sails, and fusion propulsion.

And the human consequences? Here is speculation by a magnificent array of

award-winning SF writers on what an interstellar voyage might look like, might

feel like — might be like. It’s an all-star cast abounding with Hugo

and Nebula award-winners, including Ben Bova, Mike Resnick, Jack McDevitt,

Michael Bishop, and Sarah Hoyt.
