andrew.wa Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) This may be old news to some, but earlier this year DARPA (US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) approved a proposal for grant money to seed a 100 year project aimed at human interstellar space flight. Here is an article from May that I stumbled upon today: [url="http://news.discovery.com/space/mae-jemison-darpa-100yss-interstellar-120529.html"]http://news.discover...lar-120529.html[/url] This was the title of the approved proposal: "An Inclusive, Audacious Journey Transforms Life Here on Earth and Beyond." It reminded me of this great game and community and I thought I should share it here. I haven't checked in on the emulator in several months, but I'm glad to see things still seem to be going well. I like the new forums too. Here is a link to the organization's website (100 Year Starship): [url="http://100yss.org/"]http://100yss.org/[/url] Edited July 19, 2012 by andrew.wa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
