What scientists think of a place that can serve as a second home for humanity is not something new. This is afraid of the future of the land, and, find a very long -term solution, you can find a possible option a place to which the civilization can be moved. The next Centauri B, exoplanet that the size of our planet may be the best option. However, the trip will not be simple and will keep in mind the important problems. The poll is inspired by the concept of the Chrysalis Generals ship, which was awarded the design in the Hyperion Design project. This initiative is being promoted by the Initiative on interstellar studies (I4is), a non -dispersed international organization dedicated to space travel research, which provides the project of a solid scientific and academic basis. Chrysalis is the creation of Veronica, Martinel’s Neoven, Jacque dishonestly, Guido Sbragio and Federiki Chiar serpe.
A difficult solution
With live science they wanted The ability to go to the next Centaurus. Would we go without thinking twice? Or does it depend on the conditions in which the trip was created and the ability to colonize another planet?
On a trip inside the chrysalis ship they could travel up to 2400 people who enjoy the excellent space setting in which all the amenities would be. However the main inconvenience is that the trip This lasts about 400 years. The trip will require a transition to a distance of 40 trillion kilometers, which means that those 400 years that are not exactly an interesting proposal for travel. The hypothetical plan that would be developed will be made without any “Hypersueño” technology. This means that for starters, all the people who started traveling from the ground will die inside the ship.
Not only that but also their offspring throughout Several generations would also died on the ship And they would not know any life on them. This causes a number of moral problems, because at the beginning of the trip and the accomplishment of us, as it will be provided in the mission’s plans, we would know that we would condemn our children and grandchildren about the life limited to the ship.
The positive note is that the design of the ship rises in such a way that it had all the benefits of civilization and objects that allow a full and pleasant life at all levels. The ship would have Different types of placement and weather Depending on each area, such as a tropical area or a bore. There would be premises capable of producing food and energy, as well as schools, hospitals, parks and entertainment centers. Travelers would have their role in the Environment of the ship, work as in the real world, and was provided with a vital goal that was agreed with the experience to which people are used to.
Key parameters of the chrysalis hypothetical mission
| Parameter | Specification | Source/link |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | Near the Centaur would | Project Hyperion |
| Distance | 4.24 Light Years (~ 40 billion km) | Astronomical data (ESA/NASA) |
| Estimated Duration of the trip | 400 years old | Chrysalis design concept |
| Maximum capacity | 2,400 persons | Design Chrysalis |
| Target population in transit | 1,500 character | Protocols of demographic project management |
| Travel technology | Ship for generation (without hypersuenia) | A survey of approach |
Planned to use robots and artificial intelligence for many jobs and tasks, while birth control will be organized that on the ship was always the population of 1500 people. The goal is to leave the margin of 900 people to be able to respond to the lack of control, such as the birth, which are based on the mission plans, or that there are some type of inconvenience, and resources should be better managed.
What if there was an alternative?
Some of the people who responded to the survey explained that “they” launched this colonization project If they had a Hypersueño technology. This means that travelers will sleep 400, so when they woke up, they just reach the new planet. The situation in moral terms would be less problematic. You do not have to supply several generations to the table and condemn them to life inside the ship. And, on the other hand, the first travelers did not have to sacrifice the rest of their existence, knowing that they would die until the mission is making their original steps.
Meanwhile, yes, let the 400 years go on a trip to the planet and then eat Other possible 400 years in case of desire to return to the groundThis will mean a return in 800 years. This means that all acquaintances, friends and family of the people who enter the mission have died a long time ago. The situation involves the starting point of the Futurama series, in which Fry finds exactly such a feeling when he wakes up in the future after the end of the crisgeneized accident.
For some people there would be no problem, especially if they have no family or links that are going to miss. And at the same time, it would be that an additional incentive is able to colonize the planet but then look What happened on the ground 800 years later. If this mission began in 2026, what would not happen, because they are only a hypothesis, it will mean to see in what state of the planet in 2826, almost approaching the mystical year.
But, today, and though Most of the technology that would be needed In order for the Chrysalis ship to make its trip, it was not invented, the truth is that the Hypersueño system is more science fiction than the possible reality. In addition, according to scientists, the preparation for the next Centaur would require an additional sacrifice to the first travelers. So, instead of entering the ship directly, the plan will isolate these people in a remote place as a community for 70-80 years before the trip. Thus, most likely, all the initial volunteers died and only the second generation began on the trip.
Ethical problems of a multi -generation mission
| Ethical dilemma | Description of impact | The solution offered in design |
|---|---|---|
| Eternal imprisonment | Generations would be born and die without knowing the ship. | Diversified internal habitats (tropical, bore) for imitation of life on Earth. |
| Consent between generations | Descendants do not choose to participate in the mission; His fate is predetermined. | Creation of the “interstellar constitution” with rights and a certain life purpose. |
| Social and psychological stability | Conflict risk, goal loss and social degradation over the centuries. | Social roles, defined works and use II to maintain the social structure. |
| Genetic diversity | A limited original population can lead to inbridation problems. | A genetic bank with thousands of samples and strict birth control. |
Given all these circumstances what you think The opportunity to travel to the next centaurus And become one of the people who put the first stone in the colonization of another planet? Do you think there will be enough volunteers to face this important mission? On the other hand, it is impossible to exclude alarming opportunities, such as when the Mrisalis mission reaches the planet, it has already been colonized because in these 400 years humanity has revealed a faster way of traveling.
Frequent questions about the trip to the next Centaur would About 400 years. This is what many of the respondents would like, but it’s not what is being considered as much as possible. This would be the main moral problem of the mission, as there would be thousands of people born and died during the trip. They would need to live from 70 to 80 years so that they were prepared for the call that the mission began. The ship will be designed as insufficient ecosystem with different climates, residential areas, schools, hospitals and recreation centers that seek to repeat a full and purposeful life.
