RE: The Constantly Renewed Generation Ship
I think that for a great part of humans is difficult to understand how much it is light years. This because it is too long to have a clear demostration on the Earth and because almost all the people can "see" how much it is.
The solutions that you suggest in this post are really interesting, but they have a lot of problems inside and they are relly dangerous for the humans: first one for example, the atronauts and theie children will be too far from the Earth to be helped if they need.
In reality, a multi-generation ship will never work. Machinery will break down and the 4th or 5th generation simply will not be as technically capable or motivated.
Mutinies and civil wars could break out on the ship and all sorts of other Lord of the Flies type nonsense.
