The 100 Year Starship project is an DARPA-funded initiative with the goal of building a faster-than-light starship (just like James T. Kirk’s) by the year 2111. The 100YSS Symposium is a gathering of geeks who are trying to transform DARPA’s fantasy into a reality.
The road to the future goes through the human imagination.

About the Author: Tim McGettigan is a professor of sociology at Colorado State University – Pueblo.
The Socjournal is an outstanding resource for all things sociological. Too often, the media examines social issues from a singularly economic perspective. If you really want to understand how the social world works, it's better to use a broader, clearer lens. In this column, I will discuss a variety of forces (technological, scientific, political, cultural, and, yeah okay, economic) that are currently reshaping the globe. Whether or not the world is changing for the better is an open question — and, thus, it's a question that I look forward to debating at length in this column.
