The Journey to Elisia: A Nuclear Fusion Spacecraft

🚀The nuclear fusion spacecraft Helianthus is on a 100-year journey to Proxima centu B.

🌍Proxima centu B is the closest habitable planet to Earth, located 4.24 light years away.

🕰️Time dilation occurs during the journey, with 60 years passing on the spacecraft while 60 years and 19 days pass on Earth.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦The population onboard the spacecraft grows from 1,800 to under 4,500, with strict guidelines for reproduction and genetic diversity.

☀️The destination star, Helios, is a red dwarf with lower light levels than Earth's sun.

How long will it take for the spacecraft to reach Proxima centu B?

—The spacecraft will reach Proxima centu B in 100 years.

How far away is Proxima centu B from Earth?

—Proxima centu B is located 4.24 light years away from Earth.

What is the population onboard the spacecraft?

—The population onboard grows from 1,800 to under 4,500 during the 100-year journey.

What is the destination star called?

—The destination star is called Helios, a red dwarf with lower light levels than Earth's sun.

How does time dilation affect the journey?

—Time dilation causes a difference in time between the spacecraft and Earth, with 60 years passing on the spacecraft while 60 years and 19 days pass on Earth.
