The US space agency Nasa has announced an intriguing new project called the 'Hundred Year Starship' which aims to send humans on a one-way trip to newly discovered planets across the galaxy.

"The human space programme is now really aimed at settling other worlds," said Pete Worden, director of Nasa'a Ames research laboratory, at a seminar in San Francisco. "Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars [or] get fired."

Ah, I designed and planned one of these missions to one of the candidate worlds as part of my final project in my planetary astrophysics course last year. My design actually got a pretty decent mark, I'd love to have a role in this after I finish my degree.

That sounds like it was a lot of fun - apart from the math, of course. But I like the concept!
