it's with a solar sail or nuclear pulse propulsion. If we could achieve that speed, then we could get to Alpha Centauri in just over 40 years. Whenever I give a talk to a public audience I explain the hazards of living on a spacecraft for 40 years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fact that life could be extremely tedious, and could possibly even include some kind of induced hibernation. But then I always ask if anyone in the audience would volunteer for a 40+ year journey, and every single time I get a show of hands. And then I say "oh I forgot to mention, it's a one way trip,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," and even then I get the same show of hands. This tells me that our drive to explore is so great that if and when engineers succeed at traveling at least 10 percent of the speed of light,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there will be people willing to make the journey. It's just a matter of time. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one-tenth the speed of light and we could be there in 40 years. That's not half bad. As Seager notes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many people would be willing to give up Earth and make that assuredly miserable journey
