4K - INTERSTELLAR Colonizing Mission to Proxima Centauri

[@alamos8]

There was a Sci-fi tale in which the first interstellar ship to an extrasolar planet, on a voyage of many years (centuries, I think) with crew on suspended animation (hibernation) arrives to the destination to find a developed civilization on that planet, but... human. It happened that during their long voyage, humanity developed much faster spaceships (FTL) and in the meantime they fully colonized the planet

[@paulmoffat9306]

Proxima Centauri does appear to have a planet in the habital zone, but the star is a Red Dwarf, and the planet's orbit is only 11.2 days, so it is most likely tidally locked to the star. Not a really good place to be. And to boot, that class of star, frequently has wildly erratic flares (Danger Will Robinson! Radiation!).

[@linz8291]

Yes, Proxima Centauri is not our first choice to expand space settlements as one of the habitable neighboring extroplanets. If more space settlements selections are continues, Gliese 832, 583, Teergarden, and Tau Ceti are better to consider as Earth 2.0.

[@robertcarroll5036]

All valid points but here is another one that seems to be overlooked: How do you get a spacecraft to go into orbit around the exoplanet? The star is only 12% the size of the sun but it is 33 as dense, making it's gravitational pull over 5 times that of the sun. The planet orbits at around 4.5 million miles from the star at a descent speed. So to say the ships would deaccelerate and drop into orbit is a tall order. It took Messenger 6.5 years from launch and a number of gravity assists from the inner planets to get Messenger to slow down and go into orbit around Mercury. Newtonian physics may not apply in the SiFi world but they are still required in the real world.

rather odd ship design but absolutely stunning visual work here, great job.

[@TabathaTMartin]

Looks like something out of star trek.

[@memorobles7857]

Makes a lot of sense, there is a large truss structure to keep distance from the engine and antimatter fuel storage and the crew/cargo at the front. And the hab module is circular so it can rotate and simulate gravity when cruising at constant velocity, but with individual modules that can swing 90° so that the hab decks turn perpendicular to the axis of the ship during acceleration and deceleration phases to simulate gravity that way instead of rotating the whole hab ring.

[@CarlosAM1]

@@memorobles7857 Yes, however there seem to be no radiators, no counter-rotating habitats and no frontal shielding for the ship, instead relying entirely on the front-mounted laser which also can't be used when decelerating. As well as the rather odd choice of having 5 engines on the back, meaning you need an individual shadow shield for every single one of them. Either way, the ship is pretty realistic as far as most interstellar ships tend to look...

[@memorobles7857]

​@@CarlosAM1 I apologize, I just assumed you might have expected a more "conventional" sci-fi design. At first glance I thought the other two rings might be acting as counterrotating flywheels but now that you mention it they are indeed spinning in the same direction as the hab ring, maybe an animation mistake? The laser does seem like a bit of an afterthought indeed. Also thought it could've been a simplification of the caption text as I assumed the frontal shielding systems might've been conceived as more complex, since the concave structure seemed to me like it might be intended as part of a particle capture system to use as adittional propellant mass or whatnot, but I guess it makes more sense to assume the designer thought of it as just a reflector for incoming signals and having the frontal laser double up as a communication device. The engine placement might be handwaved away too, but there's certainly no way around the radiators. All in all I think it might just be the artist trying to avoid just making it look like yet another ISV Venture Star copy for aesthetic's sake :/

Amazing. I love relativistic space travel. Although 25% C seems somewhat low for anti-matter propulsion and wouldn’t be economically viable.

@@OxtoraykFTL is not physically possible. What is possible is taking “shortcuts.” Basically if you have a wormhole, you can move much faster and across a smaller area to get to the same place. So we can’t actually go faster than the speed of light, but it’s similar. To visualize this imagine a road around a mountain. To go around the mountain takes an hour, but if you have a tunnel through the mountain you can get there in 10 minutes

​@@OxtoraykAnd thankfully we don't know much. Current theories are in conflict with one another and none of them paint the full picture. Each of them just describe a particular aspect of reality and break if pushed beyond their domain. So it's only a matter of time something else and better comes around that will advance physics from its current state, just like theory of relativity advanced it from newtonian physics. And if it just so happens that crossing galaxies in seconds is indeed impossible, then the only option is to digitize brain and put it on pause as you and travel like a space rock to other places, forever breaking connection with humanity; i wouldn't volunteer.

Brilliant ! Design suggestion.

Transiting passengers from pressurised transports (starship etc) berthed at the spine and into the rotating rings without being exposed to space and needing suits, has not yet been solved !!!!!
