A brief guide to the real science of interstellar travel With known

Year Starship and Breakthrough Starshot advancing the idea of
interstellar travel, the age-old dream of venturing forth into the
cosmos and perhaps even colonizing distant worlds may one day

Johnson takes you on a thrilling tour of the physics and
technologies that may enable us to reach the stars. He discusses
the latest exoplanet discoveries, promising interstellar missions
on the not-so-distant horizon, and exciting new developments in
space propulsion, power, robotics, communications, and more. But
interstellar travel will not be easy, and it is not for the faint
of heart. Johnson describes the harsh and forbidding expanse of
space that awaits us, and he addresses the daunting challenges-both
human and technological-that we will need to overcome in order to
realize tomorrow's possibilities. A Traveler's Guide to the Stars
is your passport to the next great frontier of human discovery,
providing a rare inside look at the remarkable breakthroughs in
science and technology that will help tomorrow's space travelers
