[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 181135, member: 10263"] My thoughts on this is more like building a giant habitat that has a propulsion system of some kind. As long as you can maintain a constant 1gee acceleration, you will have 1 gee in gravity, just like on Earth. When not in acceleration, you could rotate the thing to simulate gravity as well. At the half way point to the destination, you would have to flip it over and burn down your retrograde such that you still keep your acceleration going, but you reach your destination at the same relative velocity as the star you are going to. This should get you there in less than twenty years, ship time. So it would be more like traveling through space while living in cabins and farming. You'd just be inside a habitat and, more important than even food production, your task would be to maintain and grow the biome. People have this weird idea that humans are separate from the Earth. Your body is a complex ecosystem of cellular life. You pick that stuff up from your environment all the time. You need the biosphere to live. The soil too is like a complex living organism. Then, when you get there, you need a very large biomass in order to begin seeding this planet with Earth's biosphere, in addition to whatever terraforming technology you wish to place. So you essentially plant an automated terraforming apparatus that mines and builds factories, robots, structures, etc, while slowly altering the planet to be like Earth. Then you pack your shit and make a round trip to a much further star system to do it again. Once you are done setting up star system number two, you set course back to star system number one. By the time you return, what might have been a total trip time of fifty years to the inhabitants of the colony ship would be tens of thousands on the new world. It should be ready to go, with your colony already pre-built through automation and the environment at least close to habitable. If it failed, then you turn around to your other world. [/QUOTE]
