Abstract

[Spacecoaches, because of the abundance of water and consumables on board, will be able to support larger crews, and will provide excellent life support safety margins. Water is also an excellent radiation shielding material, and will mitigate radiation risks on long journeys. This chapter also explores ship designs that provide for artificial gravity.]
