An interstellar ship would be like an ark, carrying everything the colonists might need, including greenhouses for growing food and sophisticated manufacturing facilities.
This would mean that 4 billion years ago, the age of the earliest signs of life on earth, interstellar distances were much smaller.
Today, it is barreling into interstellar space some 14 billion kilometers from Earth and has only burned through about half of its fuel supply.
MACHOs could well be white dwarfs--overturning a common belief that the dark matter would consist mainly of lighter interstellar garbage such as brown dwarfs.
It made a faint whine as it pulled away, delivering power so smoothly that it might as well have been gliding through interstellar space.

" Originally conceived by Lebron as "a derivative of twilight, " the word "Twi, " (rhymes with "why") is specifically defined as an "interstellar traveler, adventurer, or forest maker.
Stardust is an ambitious but low-cost mission to capture the first samples from a comet, as well as grains of interstellar dust, and return them to Earth.
When working, it splits light into its component colours, to reveal information about the chemical content, temperature and motion of planets, comets, stars, interstellar gas and galaxies.
It is expected to deliver microscopic samples from Comet Wild-2, which it will swoop near in 2004, as well as interstellar particles captured near the asteroid belt.
To get a read on the true nature of the pristine Interstellar Medium (ISM) the space between the stars, we need a dedicated Interstellar Precursor Mission.
