"First Star to the Right, and Straight on 'Til Morning"

Meanwhile, back in the real world....

Interstellar flight is still a dream unfulfilled, except, perhaps, in the form of erstwhile interplanetary probes like our Pioneers and Voyagers that, at this rate, will take millennia to reach our Sun's nearest neighbors.

Interested in discussing the practical aspects of interstellar flight is the Tau Zero Foundation, a group that includes scientists who write on the realities of traveling between the stars. I recently discovered their website, a lively place where our future among the stars is a constant source of contemplation and comment.
