in the spring of 2017 The aasbo Observatory received a strange radio signal from the vicinity of the star Ross 128 it disappeared immediately that same year a rocky earthlike exoplanet was discovered in that region a suspicious coincidence but the signal vanished as if someone had deliberately turned it off only to turn it back on 150 years later flight to A New [Music] [Music] Earth the year is 2167 the signal is coming from the same place from somewhere around the Red Dwarf Ross 128 all the world's telescopes are focused on this patch of Sky almost immediately a second Rocky exoplanet is discovered near the star it is confirmed that the signal is coming from there data from the analysis begins to arrive the planet is slightly larger than Mars gravity is half that of our planet the atmosphere is almost earthlike 25% oxygen this was an unsettling realization Humanity clearly understood they were not alone in the universe the planet was named accordingly elpida which means hope in Greek an unknown New World lives 11 light years from Earth but Humanity of the 22nd century has already invented and tested a thermonuclear rocket engine a grand construction project began at the lrange point L1 of the Earth Moon system funded by all the countries of the world after 30 years three gigantic cylindrical spacecraft began to shine in the space shipyards each one is 3,300 M 10,800 ft in length it's like four Burge khalifas stacked on top of each other the diameter of each is 700 m around 2300 ft they were named Pinta n and Santa Maria after the legend AR Caravel of Christopher Columbus which discovered the new world the ships are fully autonomous and independent of each other there are entire cities with residential modules Laboratories sports facilities and even Parks inside there are also mysterious rooms marked no entry with strange labels the thermonuclear engines can accelerate the ships to 7. 33% of the speed of light this will allow them to reach their destination in 150 years each ship has 2,000 people on board selected from the best in their fields experienced pilots and astronauts astronomers nuclear physicists technicians doctors psychologists teachers and even musicians and comedians with their families they recreate a society as close as possible to life on Earth September 1st 2197 is the day when the greatest Expedition starts the bright bluish Lights of the nuclear propulsion engines of the Pinta n and Santa Maria are piercing the darkness of space the acceleration of the ships is increasing reaching just under 10 m/s squared objects and people are pressed against surfaces with a force equal to Earth's gravity this is how artificial gravity is created to reach the target speed of 7. 3 33% of the speed of light the ships need to accelerate for 26 days on the 35th hour of the flight the ships crossed the orbit of Mars distance covered 79 million kilm 49 million miles doctors and psychotherapists continuously monitor the health of each person at the beginning of the third day of the flight the ships enter the asteroid belt distance from Earth 149 million km about 92 million mil the optimal trajectory was calculated in advance to eliminate even the slightest chance of collision but at such speeds even a collision with a grain of sand could have severe consequences therefore each ship is equipped with multiple levels of protection magnetic Shields at the front deflect charged particles and small debris wall lasers instantly vaporize asteroid fragments in addition Scout drones Patrol the area around each ship detecting threats in [Music] advance on the fifth day the ships cross Jupiter's orbit at a speed of about 3500 km a second just over 1% of the speed of light Humanity had never dreamed of such speeds before gradually everything starts to fall into place people begin their Education and Research activities on the 11th day the ships cross Neptune's orbit the most distant planet in the solar system post launch system checks are completed special training sessions for different age groups begin social services are working to maintain the mental health of the people on board the first cultural events take take place a pop concert and a contemporary art exhibition life is settling into routine on this day the target speed 7.

33% of the speed of light will be reached and many things will change everyone is getting ready for this moment everything is being thoroughly checked anything that can be secured is secured anything that can be stowed away is stowed all communication channels have announced a full operational Readiness everyone takes their designated position and strapping themselves tightly against the wall the main engines are shut down the ships continue to move by inertia and the people experience weightlessness the rotational engines are activated gradually spinning the ships around their Central axis the rotation creates artificial gravity through centrifugal force when the rotation reaches 1. 6 revolutions per minute a familiar 1G gravity is achieved but now what was once the walls becomes the floor and ceiling for the rest of the journey new unfamiliar coriolis effects have emerged liquids flow in strange trajectories and falling objects move differently the rotational engines are turned off as they are no longer needed the ships continue to spin on their own in accordance with the law of conservation of angular momentum gradually everyday life and the social structure begin to settle thanks to their modular design the residential capsules are quickly reconfigured to adapt to the new direction of gravity Technical and communal spaces are restructured semi-automatically schools hospitals and production facilities resume operation life thrives on every level of the spacecraft each level is a cylinder nested within the previous one the further you go inward toward the central axis of the ship the weaker the artificial gravity on each level there is no gravity at the very center this is where the shuttle needed after arrival are stored intermediate levels are used to study the effects of low gravity on microorganisms plants and animals and even humans people experiment on liquids gases and plasma large spaces on the ships are designated as rehab itation centers where patients receive therapy and recover after injuries or surgeries with partial Gravity used to minimize strain on the body 1 year after launch 693 billion km about 430 billion miles or approximately 07 light years from Earth multi-level plantations have been established successfully using aeroponics a plant- growing technology that utiliz is a soilless air environment each ship has a seed bank of cultivated plants and a separate DNA Bank of plants that can be used if the seed Reserve is lost additionally a DNA Bank of certain animal species is stored no one knows what flora and fauna will be on elpida so there is a need to ensure the future colony's development microbiologists monitor the epidemiological situation bacteria can evolve quite rapidly in a closed environment even the most harmless can mutate into deadly threats microbiologists proactively find ways to combat new strains this is especially important in light of the upcoming event the Expedition is preparing for the birth of the first Interstellar child after the first pregnancy was registered the Genesis protocol was activated the crew was commanded to gradually reduce the ship's rotation speed to lower the artificial gravity by the time the child is born it will match the gravity of elpida the lighting Spectrum inside the ships is gradually changing daylight will no longer be the same as on Earth new generations will live in conditions similar to those on elpida to adapt to them toward the end of the first year of the flight joyful news spread throughout the ships a healthy child was born the population of New humanity is now 6,000 And1 the first generation born on the ship reaches school age the first Interstellar generation begins its comprehensive education the children who embarked on The Journey have grown into adults the young assistants of the crew members have become mature experienced Specialists the mature ones have become elderly the first significant crew change occurs the artificial intelligence ask ra has become indispensable it diagnoses diseases manages the aeroponic plantations resolves social issues and monitors the ship's condition the anthropomorphic robots controlled by Astra have befriended people and many believe that they have consciousness of their own children are particularly convinced of this during this period the first death occurs the oldest member of the Expedition a distinguished nuclear physicist passes away at 94 years old according to his will his body is sent to drift in open space a new tradition emerges In This Moment along with the body a capsule containing photographs and momentos belonging to the deceased is sent to drift in open space 50 years after launch 3. 6 light years from Earth 7.

4 light years to Alida two generations have already been born on the ships but they are are not destined to live until arrival they will spend their entire lives on the ships never having seen either Earth or elpida although there are still many people on board who were born on Earth the core of the crew now consists of the spaceborn generation birth rates are strictly controlled to ensure genetic diversity and maintain population levels so that the life support systems can cope and there is no shortage of people regulations have been put in place a minimum of two and a maximum of three children per family couples undergo genetic counseling before planning a pregnancy to determine genome compatibility and avoid potential risks children must be born evenly over time in different periods to avoid large groups of children of the same age this ensures an even distribution of age groups and prevents the overuse of resources children are born naturally but the ship has a supply of Frozen sperm and eggs as well as artificial womb technologies that can be used as a last resort a pivotal date 5. 5 light years from Earth and the same distance to elpida the Expedition has completed exactly half of its Journey at this Milestone it becomes clear that the birth control protocol has been Justified the population of each ship has grown within reasonable limits by 500 people now each ship has approximately 1,400 adults around 500 children and about 600 elderly people every 10 years about half of the children become adults and a third of the adults become elderly approximately 33% of people aged 50 to 80 die every 10 years thus generational change occurs naturally without any anomalies the average life expectancy of space Travelers at this point is 7 7. 5 years some passengers and crew members who launched from Earth are still alive 100 years after launch 7.

3 light years from Earth 3. 7 light years to elpida the era of stability unique Traditions have formed on board each ship Interstellar historians become a thing documenting the history of the society on board 10.
