Flight Without Limits (Electronic book text)


A SCIFI novel with a twist. The science fiction is about a space voyage to Alpha Centauri with a touch of reality. Alpha Centauri is the nearest solar system to our own. It has three suns and is located a mere 4.35 light years from earth. But how to get there! Can you imagine the logistics involved in mounting a multiyear space mission, complete with the needed food resources? In building the technologies for such a voyage we have to bow to the physics of the universe. In that domain we cannot cheat. However, we also live in a second universe, the mental universe, the universe of ideas. Here a 'space' voyage is not bound to inherent limits, not even the limits imposed by distance. The concept of distance becomes unknown, even socially and romantically. In the novel both worlds become gradually combined. One of the two stands in metaphor in order that the two worlds can interact and enrich one another.
