About this audiobook
What Is Breakthrough Starshot
Breakthrough Starshot is a research and engineering project that is being undertaken by the Breakthrough Initiatives with the goal of developing a proof-of-concept fleet of light sail interstellar probes called Starchip. These Starchips will have the capability of traveling to the Alpha Centauri star system, which is located 4.37 light-years away. Yuri Milner, Stephen Hawking, and Mark Zuckerberg are credited as being the founders of the company in 2016.
