IIRC it has life support capacity for about a thousand in the books, but the population of Eros changed by a factor of ten when it made its way to the screen, so make of that what you will. I think that was also without the artificial ecosphere being fully operational.

If Epstein’s totally unoptimised yacht can hit 0.05 c, purpose‐built probes ought to be able to do flybys of nearby star systems and return data within a human lifetime. It would be exceedingly arrogant to launch a generation ship out without reconnoitring the destination.

If I did the arithmetic right, from the habitable zone around Alpha Centauri AB, Proxima Centauri would have an apparent magnitude of 1.74. That’s similar to Alnitak, the left star in Orion’s belt. Our sky has thirty‐one stars brighter. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 13:26 on May 9, 2018 |

a bit confused about this system - surely in order to keep G-forces to a level where your crops and human organs don't poo poo the bed, while also ensuring the boat arrives within the lifespan of the station/ship, it would have to do long, continuous burns. How does this long period of forward thrust interact with the centrifugal force of the spinning habitat?

How does this long period of forward thrust interact with the centrifugal force of the spinning habitat? A continuous, very low acceleration shouldn't be a huge problem. There'd be a gentle pressure toward the butt of the ship but the spin gravity would be far higher and dominant. And if you're doing interstellar travel, continuous and low acceleration would be the way to go.

The Epstein drive makes propellant requirements trivial for constant acceleration within the Solar System, but not over interstellar distances. Nauvoo would be truly “on the float” for decades. At 1 g, you’d hit 5% of light speed in less than three weeks. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 13:47 on May 9, 2018 |

Yeah, basically your options would either be a relatively quick acceleration and long coast, or a very very low acceleration the entire way. Since we don't actually know how the Epstein drive works other than "very well, thank you" there's no way to say which would be the preferred way. Either is reasonable depending on what you're working with. Edit: IIRC the closest thing to a range we get is mentioning the Rocinante can cross the entire solar system twice at constant 1g acceleration before they need to think about refueling. Presumably entire solar system means Neptune orbit and not the Oort Cloud, so that's a fairly small ship that can manage 1g for well under 1% of a light year's distance.

Yeah, that thing is supposed to be a generations ship, like the kids born on it would live and die in it, and then their kids would end up being the ones to set foot on the planet. Weird! But now it gets to be a giant battleship. Rad!

I don't know about the show, but in general, an interstellar ship would accelerate at 1G or around there until the halfway point. Then it would turn around and then decelerate at 1G.
