What do you lot think the first interstellar craft is going to be called?

I'd bet that it will be called the Enterprise, but I'd love for it to be called the Sagan.

Why would we do that? Interstellar travel will be the greatest event in human history.

The day that we open a wormhole for the first time and then go in on one end, come out of the other and make the return trip will be remembered forever. It will mark the dawn of a new era.

this is a science board we deal in facts
in all likely hood there is no method for fast interstellar travel take the fermi paradox
secondy if there is a long term generationship launched it will be in the distant future we don't have the technology and we are a long way off
based on this it will not be named after a pop scientist from a time forgotten or a tv show it may not even be named. or in a language we don't speak
but in all probability that won't happen we won't sustain the current pace of progress for much longer

Isn't the Fermi Paradox about the odds of the existence of intelligent life?

>> No.2516957

>>2516908
Fermi paradox: "If intelligent life is abundant in the universe, why haven't we seen evidence of it?"

Of course it neglects at least dozens of complications which undermine it's validity.

Honestly, you people are pathetic. Two words: private enterprise. Meaning that the sponsored spacecraft will be called the Wal-Mart or the Taco Bell or something like that.

>> No.2517022

Idk, bro. The biggest profit anyone is pulling right now is about 20 billion USD, which wouldn't be enough to build NASA's infrastructure and workforce from scratch anytime soon. They get about $18bn a year now, but Apollo needed the equivalent of hundreds of billions of dollars now to get to the moon in eight years or so,so perhaps 3x the current budget, or 60bn, would be necessary.

In that case:
The good ship 4Chan Anonymous.

Though I'd love to see a fleet of five: The Bretonia The Rheinland, The Hispania, The Kusari, The Liberty.

Sorry bro, I was just concerned with the name of the spaceship as OP intended.

It'll get built, just like when peak oil arrives we'll soon develop a feasible alternative, and look how cheap technology is these days when compared to maize.

I don't believe we will send an interstellar manned mission ever. I think we will die off before we get around to it. Look at how space exploration is being sidelined and what dismal progress we have made. We will get more and more wrapped up in shit here and stop anything beyond Earth orbit launches and eventually some event will kill us.

I'll laugh my ass off if CCM's story starts a huge commercial success-story and the first interstellar ship is named "Snow Leopard-girl"
