    Default Stephen Hawking /Yuri Milner announce plans to build fleet of interstellar spacecraft

    Fleets of hundreds or thousands of smart phone sized
    spacecraft with 'sails' pushes by earth bound lasers will reach speeds of 20% the speed of light.
    Next stop Alpha Centauri , 4.3 light years from us "within one generation".
