Abstract:
Interstellar travel is difficult, but not impossible. The technology to launch slow Interstellar exploration miss ions, total delta velocities of a few hundreds or kilometres per second, has been demonstrated in laboratories. However, slow interstellar probes will never be launched because no official body will ever start a project which has no return for thousands or years, especially if it can wait a few dozens of years for improved technology and get the results quicker.
