25 Trillion Miles to Alpha Centauri: What Kills You First?
Discover the brutal physics of interstellar travel and exactly what actually kills you first on the 25-trillion-mile journey to Alpha Centauri. We break down the absolute thermodynamic and biological limits that make a trip to our nearest star mathematically impossible for humans. While sci-fi promises grand galactic adventures, the reality of the universe is strictly bound by unforgiving physical laws. Whether you engineer a chemical rocket, a relativistic nuclear drive, or a massive 400-year generation ship, the vacuum of space has a mechanism to destroy you.
