I've figured out some nanotechnologies. I have to model them and build them and figure out more. I'll send manned ships to the Alpha Centauri system. Hoping a for 20x20x20metre interior. Ice is lasered and lifted to assembly "area" near Triton. I won't have metal folding technology by then, but I do hope to be able to make origami out of sheets of metals. The bulk of the ship can be thought of as a cube of ice with nested onion layers (5000000 ideally) of metal pancaking refrozen ice sheets. The is R+D regarding sapphire-ice combos and intertwining maybe I'll do beforehand or on mission. This is 500x900x700m. An advanced materials spaghetti strings structural membrane 2ft think coats the ice and goes inside it a foot sometimes. It is allotropes chosen at fine 80nm scale to dampen force one way or vibrations or to be hit by meteorites. 10m total thickness of carbon allotrope (simple) blankets envelope this, and coating it is a reusable gatorade bottle 980x550x1.3km (IDK the outer dimensions well) big and 10m thick. Many ways of accessorizing the outer shell for varying space and mission conditions. The AC system should fling out planets and moons regularly along with capturing some. It would be nice to find one somewhere. We will need fuel and materials depots on route. I can make ion engine probes but don't know performance. The ship will be VASIMR. Science payloads are wanted along the beginning of the Heliopause and on the deep space side.
The real target is within a LY of Alpha Centauri's Oort. Dog A is not likely medically safe. The interaction between the waves of both stars, maybe 1.8 LY from Sol, is a more realisitc target. 0.4c is eventually doable maybe, and .18c should be minimum top speed. There will be ice moons. A nano controlled ethane burner should enable GMO-fish and rods. Skating. Skiing. Frisbee. Discus. Melts a pool to pilot a sub is maybe time-trouble. a million lasers or more will shine out in front of the ship. Hoping for Nitrogen atmosphere. Able to smoke and drink. I'll have an extensive medical kit one year. I'll try to cure nausea in at least most of 4 brain parts.
Manufacturing includes moderately clssified nanoweavers 80nm wide. A mildly classified laser nanostamper 3 microns wide. All on a sapphire base. And a piece of crap nanostamper with a piezo arm, mostly for interior ship parts. I'll also have secret micron assemblers that can eventually make themselves. They could be misused to blot out the Sun or mass produce WWI WMDs. I'm hoping to add some metal folding skill into the self-rescue kit. In theory, it should be able make emergency ships at the other end of the trip if there is aluminum and other stuff raw. Quantum systems won't work well when time dilation becomes a factor.
Alot of invention is finding applications. The nanotech isn't really strong in a sci-fi science, but it saved payload space. a Triton mine will need to have been in service and materials processing already. You don't need to think weaponry as a reflex and then you are forced to use your noodle and think of harder q-of-l questions. I'd show EM the classified stuff because his motivation is psychological most like mine, so I understand there isn't a security risk. I can't contribute as an artist but this mission should create positive societal effects. I intend to leave weak versions of the micron assemblers behind. Drug manufacturing (I might speak w/gvmt staff personally) need tougher sapphire; it doesn't ring at lower speeds thus suiting the glass-like surface flow of drug products. maybe 30% the cost of 2021 drugs. I've never been in the top 1000 re manned-ship design.
