"The factor most ignored in discussing interstellar flight is the kinetic energy that must be invested in the ship to make its tons of matter move at a substantial fraction of the speed of light"
- Barney Oliver
About this Quote
This quote by Barney Oliver is referring to the fact that interstellar travel needs a big amount of energy to propel a ship at a considerable portion of the speed of light. This is frequently ignored when talking about interstellar flight, as the focus is typically on the technological advances required to make such a journey possible. Nevertheless, the kinetic energy needed to move a ship of lots of matter at a portion of the speed of light is immense and need to be thought about. This energy needs to be bought the ship in order to make interstellar take a trip a reality. Without this energy, the ship would not have the ability to reach the speeds needed to make interstellar travel possible. Therefore, the kinetic energy required for interstellar travel is an important element that must not be disregarded.

"Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing"
"Oh, the miraculous energy that flows between two people who care enough to get beyond surfaces and games, who are willing to take the risks of being totally open, of listening, of responding with the whole heart. How much we can do for each other"
"Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy"
"You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination"
"The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy"
