Outbound One: The First Starship

Outbound One: The First Starship is a fictional account of man's first attempt to leave our solar system by striking out in an interstellar journey to establish an outpost in a nearby star system containing an earth-like planet. It presents a chronological account of the physical events encountered during this historic mission as well as the psychological reactions of both crew and passengers to this one-way trip to the stars. It attempts to answer the recurring questions of the ability of the human race to survive interstellar space travel and to establish viable colonies beyond the limits of our home solar system or be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
