> Paul, of course, is speaking at the conference in his post chase universe. Although he can't give details of how it's done, he can at least be encouraging. > > For us, it's worth following. Given the distance to the nearest star is measured in light years, propulsion would still have to approach a large fraction of the speed of light to be anywhere near a "reasonable" travel time. When I checked, the speed of light is some 671 million mph. So travel at even half that speed would take 8 years to reach the nearest star.

Nothing specifically Starman related, but Isaac Asimov was my favorite Scifi writer back in the day. Thought you'd find this interesting to peruse. http://www.techhive.com/article/2047815/how-isaac-asimov-correctly-predicted -2014-tech-in-1964.html#tk.rss_all. Chuck
