Dear readers,

This is an official announcement that JCI and the Batavian Space Administration are preparing the launch of JeIS001 the first interstellar craft. Drawings of the craft as of it's trajectory will be released after launch.

The scientists at JeCom International have worked out a hyperbolic trajectory that will send the JeIS001 (Working name: "Arkadius 1") out of the Atos system.

The following timeframe has been made:

• 1. Launch: 11 april 2008
  2. Deployement and systemcheck: 11 april 2008
  3. Attached to the JeCom Milieu 1 sattelite: 12 april 2008
  4. JeCom Milieu will fire it's maneuvering thrusters to send the Arkadius 1 into the trajectory: 19 april 2008

More information is classified and will be released after launch.

MAS needs more administration going on over here, mainly because interstellar travel is all but impossible without something similar to a beamed anti-matter core for example?

but a beamed anti-matter core requires over 100 tonnes of anti-matter, and earth make 1 nanogram of anti-matter a year... it would take a while to stock up

Uhm Spangle, micro-interstellar travel isn't that exciting as it sounds and it's possible.

In the real world there are know about 5 interstellar probes if I am not mistaken

they're not inster-stellar they've not even left the oort cloud

They are interstellar probes, the definition of an interstellar probe is:

An interstellar probe is a space probe which has left -- or is expected to leave -- the solar system and enter interstellar space

they've taken a good 30 odd years to get out the magnetosphere, they have decades to go before they reach the Oort cloud, and surely what you said would infer they were built for that, but they were just built to look at the outer planets

Ofcourse the earth vessels are not created for that purpose but this craft is.. And no it won't be out of the system next year it will take decades and on it's route it will pas several planets..

I am currently building a mesh in 3dsmax for it..

Yeah!

I assume it's autonominous at least?

otherwise it will be useless, to get there at speed the humans would have withstand crushing pressure of accelation and you'ld need enough room for food, enough fuel to move the food, enough fuel to move that extra fuel etc etc etc

Of course, if he's going by Apollo Standard Time, 30 years is only a month real time ...

30 years was for voyager to leave the magnetosphere

interstellar is several times larger, but we're confused as to how fast he is traveling, if it's metres per second even in apollo standard time it's over two hundred, thousand years

*clambers onto craft despite Spangle's protests*

I've locked onto the GPS coordinates and collision in 3, 2, 1...

*man runs in in a suit and whispers something to me*

What do you mean no one has made a GPS system?

then where the hell is that rocket going?

*guy whispers something again*

Cherry trees? oh, that's ok then, it's already wasteland...

*more whispering*

It's thermonuclear?
shit.

ROFL

lol

Launch has been posponed because of bad weather at the launch site. New proposed date: 15 april
