Interstellar Travel: Shooting for the Stars

The Starshot Project is one of those rare, exciting technological
plans that seems to come straight out of science fiction - a plan
to visit the nearest star to Earth within our
lifetimes. 

It will require huge technological advancements in virtually
every relevant field, but it's still the most feasible way to get
to the stars.

We'll discuss the project, how it would work, and the physics of
why interstellar travel is so damn difficult.
