Generation ship information


Stanford Torus-based generation ship, proposed by Project Hyperion[1]

A generation ship, generation starship or world ship,[1] is a hypothetical type of interstellar ark starship that travels at sub-light speed. Since such a ship might require hundreds to thousands of years to reach nearby stars, the original occupants of a generation ship would grow old and die, leaving their descendants to continue traveling.
