Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the formal launch of the Decadal Report of the Intergovernmental Council for Research into Manned Interstellar Travel Please join me in welcoming The chair of the council, Professor Gustav Guberovsky Thank you, thank you As you all know, in the 10 years since the Hydran signal was first received The scientific community has been working tirelessly on the goal of interstellar travel This research has resulted in Dramatic technological advances in a number of key areas Most notably nuclear fusion And long-term suspended animation of human subjects Based on these advances And further breakthroughs considered likely In other relevant fields of technology And assuming significant sustained international investment In focused intensive research and development programs Into key outstanding scientific and technological questions, to whit Inter-stellar propulsion Relativistic-ready aerospace materials Self-reparing and self- replicating machines High flux electromagnetic field stabilisation And into maximising the efficiency And minimising the size and the weight Of all these relevant technologies And assuming all our efforts don't fall short For details see our full ten thousand page report We believe that we can build a spaceship within a decade Capable of carrying a human crew to Hydra Spending most of the journey traveling at close to the speed of light With the crew in a state of suspended animation After the mission is complete If the Hydran civilisation has the goodwill And the technological capacity to assist with refueling The crew will be able to return to Earth in a similar manner The round trip mission time on Earth Depends on the success of the international Research and development programs outlined above And in particular on the final choice of propulsion technology But is unlikely to be much less than a thousand years The maximum size of the crew also depends On the success of the international R&D programs outlined above But the number is expected to be very small Most likely one At the very best we might fit two or three For details see our full report, Appendix D There's only room for one One voice to speak for all A heavy burden for a hundred or more To be borne by one alone But there's only room for one And if there's only room for one It can only be Jason Send Jason! The choice can't be denied. Send Jason But he's just a child Send Jason! The choice we can't avoid. Send Jason But he's just a boy And yet he knows their language He knows their ways The leading expert despite his age We've all seen him, his eyes agleam To go and meet them would be his life's dream So if there's only room for one And there's only room for one It must be Jason Send Jason! The choice can't be denied. Send Jason But he's just a child Send Jason! The choice we can't avoid. Send Jason But he's just a boy He's just a boy, he's just a child Far too young for space exile To be cut off from all human joy He's just a child, he's just a boy But to launch in ten years time, is the plan And in ten years time, Jason will be a man
