Project Hyperion | interstellar generation ship design competition
www.projecthyperion.org
Project Hyperion explores the feasibility of crewed interstellar travel via generation ships, using current and near-future technologies. A generation ship is a hypothetical spacecraft designed for long-duration interstellar travel, where the journey may take centuries to complete. The objective of the competition is to design the habitat of the generation ship, including its architecture and society.

    @Auth@lemmy.world could you switch the prefix from [Article] to [Project]. That seems more appropriate.

    Very interesting project. Had no idea this was something that people can compete in.

      I was surprised at how practical and grounded some of the submissions were. They actually tried to prove the fundamentals of their concepts and show it was more than just a dream. A lot of very smart people at work here.

    WFP Extreme - is so cool. I’d love for humanity to be exploring space in a jellyfish spacecraft.
