Space the Final Frontier.

Vision to reach our neigbouring Star.

The idea is on the drawing board, after the discovery of a so called Goldie Locks planet orbiting a red dwarf star the nearest to us? This is still not a proven idea, but many want to get going with the Solar Sail concept?

Where does one start with all the problems of the new discoveries in our Solar System from the Kuiper belt to the now believed Ort Cloud. In fact there may be more dust between the stars than was first thought, so out goes Star Trek type space ships?

Niku and X9 are perhaps the reall next targets to investigate with a mission to both Neptune and Uranus. New Horizon is now half was to the Kuiper Belt with the first object cousing of Pluto in sight. Juno has arrived at Jupitor, a few pictures have been released but nothing more is being for the time?

It would be best to not jump to far and enjoy the discovery of what we know or can see to learn a bit more that our neigbourhood has to offer first?

Star Ships.

Space the final frontier.

When are we going to build a real space ship? It is unlikely to be in the near future, but plans are underway to send a mission to Mars and the Asteroid belt within the next fifty-years. The development of some form of long-range endurance ship will have to be designed and constructed probably in space near to the ISS. 

This space ship will not be as dramatic or spectacular as the ships of popular science-fiction, such as the Enterprise or Destiny in Star gate universe.
