Overview

This is the first volume of a new series of books I am writing on totally extreme relativistic rockets able to attain totally extreme gamma factors is designed to take the conservative readers and theorists out of there comfort zones to ponder virtually intangible relativistic rocket gamma factors. In this book, I go to good levels to provide very numerous specific computed examples while explaining the math. I also go to good lengths to explain the caveats for the rockets to work and offer logical explanations based on physical principles with some quantitative values included on how the caveats may be met. The conceptual focus in terms of systemic configurations I believe is completely novel. The anticipated and computed gamma factors are likely completely novel because no other theorists I believe take the possibility of my conjectured gamma factors seriously. Relativistic rockets serve a primal need among starship enthusiasts for grounding in known and common physics paradigms and the need to feel that we can do something great with the concepts we already apply, albeit, on a much more limited scale, in the form of obviously non-relativistic chemical rockets and ion rockets. Relativistic rockets have merit even over anti-gravatic concepts, space-time warp drive, wormhole travel, and the like notions for the following reasons. 1) Relativistic rockets are completely self-contained. They do not need surrounding space to be warped nor do they need to travel down external infrastructure such as wormholes. 2) Relativistic rocket propulsion is very easily controlled such as by simple adjustment of impulse and thrust vectoring. 3) Relativistic rockets enable unlimited numbers of light-years travel in space in the spacecraft reference frame time in a tiny, even vanishingly small portion of a second to the extent that the spacecraft can approach light-speed arbitrarily closely. 4) Relativistic rockets enable unlimited numbers of years travel forward in time in the spacecraft reference frame time in a tiny, even vanishingly small portion of a second, to the extent that the spacecraft can approach light-speed arbitrarily closely. If these hard realities do not wake you up to the wonders of extreme rocket flight, then consider the following facts. 1) Relativistic rockets in theory permit unlimitedly huge super-unitary multiples of light-speed recessional velocity from Earth or any other place of origin in any reference frame based on far enough travel and the expansion of space-time between the spacecraft and point of origin due to universal expansion. 2) Relativistic rockets in theory permit unlimitedly huge super-unitary multiples of present era cosmic light-cone radius distance travel in any reference frame from Earth or any other place of origin based on far enough travel and the expansion of space-time between the spacecraft and point of origin due to universal expansion.
