Escape To a New World
• This is a computer enhanced image of the newest world to be discovered. It is just a little over 27 light-years away.
• While there are other worlds that are closer; this one offers the best chance for the success of our venture. This is our target world.
• The atmosphere is oxygen rich and a little above Earth norm. Shallow oceans cover more than 60 percent of the planetary surface. It has two moons. While being slightly larger than Earth it is not quite as dense and so the gravity will be about the same as Earth's. The pictures of this new world shows that there is plant life of some kind on the planet.
The Mayflower II is a state of the art solar-sail spacecraft with an ion drive and a fusion reactor.
There are 120 habitat modules linked together. Each module has over 5000 square feet of living space and a garden module of about 5000 square feet also.
This provides the Mayflower II with more than 135 acres of garden space.
The common shared space in the rear of the ship provides an Earth normal gravity and various recreational and entertainment areas. The ship's school, library, and addition hydroponics are also located in this section of the ship.
