>> Here's the real argument against primitive interstellar

>> greater than the speed of primitive probes. In 200 years,
>> the 2600-year probe would be overtaken by a 800-year

>> forth. And by the time any of these probes could get there,
>> we might be able to go ourselves in a reasonable time
>> (by the ship's clocks).
>>
>> On the other hand, we might be able to make a 100-year
>> probe by the end of the century. For now, we need to
>> concentrate on survey and data collection technologies.

>> For probe technology, I refer you to the 1973-78 study

>> The project is currently being designed as Project Icarus:
