My motivation to start this story was the movie 'When worlds collide'. In it basically, a few individuals are attempting a desperate try to reach another world, before the earth is turned into intersteller roadkill.

I change the basic premise: could the desire for a prestine world motavate mankind to take nearly any chances to reach it? And if not mankind, how about individuals willing to take the risk?

It's a crazy thing to do.

Which makes it seems all so human to me.

Wayne just gave me a great idea.

Are tribbles edible?

Your problem with stocking the starcruiser (and the colony) is solved.

LOL!

Wayne; I first desired to use the old sci-fi standby of ionic-electric drive; it was tried in true(In scifi circles, anyway).

Lately I've been wondered about something that's been refered to as a 'mag-sail'. Robert Zubrin of mars direct fame has written at least one article about the concept.

Oh: my bad. :oops:
The distances involved are huge, but not quite in light-years. The setting is that the other solar-system is passing by our system at a range of around 7 billions miles. Long trip, but not in light-years.

My basic line-in the-sand tech wise, is 15 years, max. Basically, most of what goes on will involv tech we have around now, or will very shortly.

On the galloping ghost star......

Yeah, I hedged on that. I give a explaination it'd been shielded from visual sighting by a intersteller dust cloud(Which just happens to be undiscovered as well) from which it emerges a couple years before the colony efford gets under way. Of course, the gravity of said star would have effected the comets way out there for centuries.
Hey. No ones perfect!

That's something like 3.8 million mph? Assuming a steady speed and not allowing for acceleration and deacceleration.

We got the capability of that within 15 years?

It'd take a step up in tech, clearly and a arguement can be made I'm picking and choosing which tech I desire to work just so.

Again, my point was; how badly do people want to get to this planet? People have a amazing ability to find ways to do things.
"It's amazing what you can do; when you got to do it.'

And in any case, 11 weeks isn't written in stone. We could go with a small number of smaller ships, taking a longer time to get there. I don't think it'll be quite as exciting, though.

Yeah, another solar system effectively passing through ours is gonna have those would-be space explorerers worried about more than launching cattle in Warp drive.
