spacecraft are not aircraft

You cannot open the airlock on a plane and make repairs on it mid flight, On a spacecraft you easily could

an interstellar spacecraft can also be built to be large if desired, massive enough to store all the fuel it would require, storing uranium fuel pellets wouldn't take an excessive amount of space that couldn't be accounted for by adding more space, if we can never achieve fusion instead.

the parts you need could be manufactured on site with stored materials, since if you're using a ship for 2 centuries straight, you'd probably go the "flying city" route for your design, the fear of running out would have to be solved by recycling everything possible, as well as increasing ship length to have more cargo

this craft would not be small by any means, undoubtedly enough to make an aircraft carrier look like a god damn joke, but all the issues that exist can most definitely be accounted for and fixed with the knowledge we have right now

Submarines stay under the sea for quite a while, what methods do you think they employ?

quit bitching about how everything is impossible in every fucking thread
why not do some brainstorming on how YOU might solve the problem, instead of responding on how everything I posted is impossible never ever never ever
