The concept of taking a trip with interstellar room utilizing spacecraft pushed by ultrathin sails might seem like right stuff of sci-fi books. Yet as a matter of fact, a program begun in 2016 by Stephen Hawking and Yuri Milner, called the Development Starshot Campaign, has actually been checking out the concept. The principle is to utilize lasers to push mini room probes connected to “lightsails” to get to ultrafast rates and at some point our local galaxy, Alpha Centauri.
