centaury

Being able to sustain 1g for a few months on a heavy spacecraft means interstellar travel (proxima centaury) would be within grasp.

Reaching Proxima Centaury would take longer than your estimation because of it's orbit around Alpha Centauri A/B.

Yet they're using 1994 estimate for AB mass, have nobody measured alpha centaury AB mass since 1994?

The Orion project was designed for sending a city-sized space ship to Alpha Centaury in ~100 years.

Alpha Centaury had a solar shade which you could deploy and cool the planet (to pre-warming levels or even further).

They should have taken the time to visit the office in alpha centaury.

I played Civ4 and Alpha Centaury a lot, but it is getting old.

>by an alien species from another galaxy In the book, trisolarans are from the Alpha Centaury system, the closest one to our own.

I think that Alpha Centaury is one of the best games and it also beats Civ with all due respect (Disclaimer: never played recent Civ games, has dislike for history and fan of Science Fiction).

"He said he had managed to find the word for Taurus, alongside a picture of seven stars (seen as part of the zodiac constellation of Taurus) and the word Kantairon alongside a picture of the herb Centaury."

I am playing with an idea to rewrite Alpha Centaury.

You can get a small chunk of matter very near c with a small part of the energy needed to send an easily detectable UV light bean to Alpha Centaury.

Let's say we're at war with Alpha Centaury.
