This traveler\'s guide lays out methods and means that may enable our first steps into the great unknown beyond the sun\'s familiar campfire.
This is highly recommended stuff.
But so does his sense of humor, his humanity, and his zest for life.
He has more than paid his dues in the field, and his enthusiasm for the cause of interstellar exploration shines through. --Bill Nye Les Johnson is that rare breed of writer who can make rocket science comprehensible even to the layperson.
It\'s a flight of imagination backed up with real out-of-this-world science.
But then he describes with wonderful detail the Starshot nanocrafts, chipsats, Starwisps, worldships, and metamaterial LightSails that we might use.

Join this diverse group of science fiction writers and scientists as they take up the challenge of The Ross 248 Project.
The settlers at the nearby red dwarf star, Ross 248, will encounter mysteries and unexpected challenges, but the human spirit will endure.
Therein the lies the challenge: Finding worlds that are potentially habitable and then taking the time, perhaps centuries, to make them compatible with Earth life.
Will those who undertook the journey be able to easily turn around and come home if they don\'t find Earth 2.0? Almost certainly not.
What about when we get to another star? What then? Will the planets be immediately habitable? Not likely.
Traveling to the stars will be difficult, but not, perhaps, the most difficult part.
