Sending life to the stars
Reposting with an update
Interesting article from Science daily on Sending life to the stars. Looks like we are getting closer to being able to propel objects to near to the speed of light.
Granted this research they are looking at 20-30% but this is a big step forward.

Happy do discuss on Mastodon, Discourse or at the Paignton Library STEM Group meetings.
