Interstellar Challenges - Orbiting megastructures & anticollision systems_x264

Earth based rocket system are wholly inadequate to launch star bound ships. Their size and complexity make it prohibitively resource intensive. So, in orbit structures are necessary to build and launch interstellar ships. Sadly, we are hopelessly unable to even begin building such structures. Our current energy production and other requirements keep us far short of the mark. Interstellar travel will likely require protection from space debris. At slow speeds protection from intercepting bodies is necessary, and at high speeds protection from even small particles is crucial. An impact with a high energy particle at relativistic speeds may be catastrophic. So, large scale shields need to be designed, constructed and deployed for interstellar ships. But, we currently lack the will, the capacity, and the resources to engage in such endeavors.
