100 Year Journey to Proxima Centauri B
This sci-fi documentary explores the 100 years it will take a nuclear fusion spacecraft to travel to Proxima Centauri b, the closest habitable planet to Earth, with a distance of 4.24 light years. The journey demonstrates the future science of space travel, exploration, and space technology. Inspiration for the video comes from the movie Interstellar, The Expanse TV show, and Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV show. Other topics covered include population growth, bacteria evolution, spaceship habitat ring design, rotations per minute needed to generate artificial gravity, conservation of angular momentum in space, living conditions on Proxima Centauri b, and time dilation. Created by Jacob B and narrated by Alexander Masters, the video features concept art by ESO/M. Kornmesser. It is a future timelapse sci-fi documentary of interstellar space travel to create a new space colony. Elon Musk recommends books on artificial intelligence, future technology, and sci-fi stories. Other videos to watch include the timeline of future spacecraft, NASA 1958 - 2100, transforming Mars, and the first 10,000 days on Mars.
