Exploring the potential for interstellar flight, the author delves into realistic robotic missions to Alpha Centauri, inspired by the Voyager 2's encounter with Neptune. While manned missions are deemed unlikely in the near future, the book investigates the current state of interstellar technology and propulsion systems that could enable such journeys. Engaging with experts from NASA and beyond, the author uncovers a wealth of literature and ongoing research aimed at developing feasible concepts for deep space exploration.
