Do we have plans to build generational ships for deep space travel?
Why do we need generational ships? Can't we just use faster spacecraft?
While spacecraft that travel at high speeds can cover vast distances in space, there are some limitations to speed, such as the amount of fuel required and the effects of relativistic time dilation. For very long journeys, it may be more practical to use a generational ship, which can sustain a crew for a much longer time and possibly explore and colonize distant worlds.
