Later this month (February 23-25), Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory will host the Space, Propulsion, and Energy Sciences International Forum (SPESIF). During the three days of this conference, there will be a sizeable number of presentations of interest for Getting There From Here. The range of these talks is broad, from the near-term scale of technologies for improved thermodynamic materials for use in space exploration, to more economical means of reaching orbit, to theoretical means of travelling and communicating faster than the speed of light. In this series, we examine some of the abstracts of talks that will be presented at this conference.
In Part Four, we discuss some of the abstracts related to travelling beyond our Solar System.
