Breakthrough

Faster-than-light travel is the key to humanity’s dreams of inter-galactic space travel. Your challenge is to create an app, tool, game, or other interactive application that showcases both existing, as well as next generation/theoretical, breakthrough spacecraft propulsion in an engaging way.

Beyond the light

Summary

Using a videogame we want to show how is a travel at light speed.

How We Addressed This Challenge

We wanted to show a interactive simulation of space travel at light speed, friendly with young

enthusiastics

How We Developed This Project

We use Unity to develop our proyect, some image editing software and our computers. Our objective was to try to inspire young audiences to choose carrer related to space, so they can help develop our dreams of space travel.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We just used resources in articles published on NASA's website

Data & Resources


We researched about motors able to reach light speed (or as close as one can be) and we found this article: https://es.gizmodo.com/nasa-confirma-que-un-nuevo-propulsor-imposible-funcio-1614451696. This article inspired us into the final version of this project.


We also looked for exoplanets close to our solar system, and we found GJ-357-d, at 31 light years from earth. It gave us ideas about the objective of the proyect.

Investigamos sobre motores capaces de alcanzar la velocidad de la luz (o al menos lo más cerca posible) y encontramos este artículo: https://es.gizmodo.com/nasa-confirma-que-un-nuevo-propulsor-imposible-funcio-1614451696. Este artículo nos inspiró para la versión final de este proyecto



también buscamos por exoplanetas cercanos a nuetro sistema solar, y encontramos GJ-356-d, a 31 años luz de la tierra. Nos dio ideas sobre el objetivo del proyecto.
