Crossing the vast spaces between the stars has been a dream of many visionaries ever since the human race learned that those distant specks of light in the nighttime sky are other suns. However, reaching across the immense depths of light years to even the nearby stars presents one of the greatest challenges humanity will ever face, technological or otherwise.
This section discusses slower-than-light technologies. Faster than light (FTL) schemes will be discussed in their own section.
