... Reference Code ''' - 2010.63.218 '''Number of Pages''' - 4 Abstract This paper considers the likely maximum range of space vessels providing the basis of a mature interstellar transportation network. Using the ... that this range will be less than three parsecs for the average interstellar vessel. This maximum range provides access from the Solar System to a large majority of nearby stellar systems ...

... construction we try to simplify our design by making things in standard or modular sizes. Having different sizes of space modules will mean customized engineering and manufacturing, and that will drive up costs. A great thing about building modules of standard sizes is that you can connect them together like building blocks. The modules will be approximately ...

... propulsive energy of a rocket vehicle comes from the propellant and its exhaust velocity. The maximum, or ideal, velocity that can be obtained by a single stage rocket is roughly twice ...

The NASA Space Shuttle orbiter is designed to carry a payload of 65,000 pounds and a crew of eight, or perhaps ten in an emergency. It weighs about 172,000 pounds empty and up to 245,000 pounds when loaded for launch. (Ref.1) Ref 1.NASA, National Space Transportation System Reference, Volume 1 Systems and Facilities, June 1988.

Spacesuits will be made to fit all body types. Inside the pressurized space station, spacesuits will merely be worn as a precautionary measure in case of emergencies if life support systems go down, pressure is lost, or to help with bodily changes that occur in zero-gravity environments. Clothing will have to be roomy to allow for changes to the body in zero-gravity environments. To walk outside ...
