I didn't say that. I answered your question. It would take a great desire from a considerable part of humanity to build such a ship. You didn't ask whether anyone liked the idea. Personally I think the realization of this idea would be very cool and logical, but first you'd need a specific and "arrivable" destination for the ship.
im sorry, i just wasnt sure what you meant by that. basically yes, but let say there the desire, what kind of technologies would we need and if we can achieve them in the next decade or so?
Next decade - impossible. 1. we don't have a destination with an inhabitable planet. 2. no cryogenic tech, generation ships are doomed to psychological failure of the crew 3. no idea of a propulsion system such a ship could use, all our engines are too slow First we have to develop the tech within our own solar system, and I predict it will take the next few hunded years. After that, we'll see. Well, we wont.
there is the ion/plasma engine, but that isnt interstellar. we could go for the warp bubble, but that may be a problem.
Warp bubble? That is science fiction (at least for now), isn't it? The same as hyperspace travel and FTL travel. Be real! Ion-plasma is too weak.
Well, yes, as I said, science fiction at the moment, not fantasy. There is some scientific thought behind it, but it's just speculation for the moment, not even a theory. And, as you quoted, it's a speculative mathematical model, and it's a far cry from being a speculative technological solution. The technology for such a drive is still the realm of fantasy, at least to my limited knowledge.
its not science fiction at all. its purely physical(physics) and mathematical. its also theoretical and it has problems.
We need to re-think travel; rather than thinking " go from point a to point b", we need to make point b shorter. In other words, we need to learn more about how to warp space, and therefore, time, in order to efficiently travel within the universe. Anything else is impractical unless you're going on a generation ship.
