AlbakiReads Editorial

The science and choices behind journeys between stars

Jeri Freedman connects ideas about interstellar travel from science fiction with scientific efforts to address the challenges of sending humans far beyond the Milky Way. The book introduces the STEM skills involved in tackling those technical problems, while also examining the human questions raised by voyages that could last years or generations. Its scope brings engineering possibilities and ethical considerations together, including decisions about who might undertake such a journey. The subject is presented as both a technological challenge and a debate about the consequences of leaving home for an extended, potentially one-way expedition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in space science and astronautics
  • Readers curious about how STEM disciplines apply to ambitious space-travel problems
  • Those interested in ethical questions surrounding long-duration or one-way missions

Book overview

Sci-fi novels, movies, and TV shows have provided ideas on how interstellar space travel might be accomplished, allowing humans to travel far beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Many of these ideas are being explored by scientists today. In this enlightening book, readers learn about how human interstellar travel might be accomplished and how STEM skills are being used to solve the problems involved. Human interstellar space travel raises a variety of ethical questions as well, such as who goes on this one-way trip, traveling far from home for years or even generations? This resource provides a human and technical overview of a captivating, yet contentious, topic.
