Abstract THe purpose of this report is to explore a three-phase propulsion system for interstellar travel within 20-40 years, addressing issues like micrometeoroid impact, radiation damage, and independent spacecraft limitations. It also emphasizes energy sustainability in space. Current technology is theoretical, but advancements in AI, robotics, and energy systems are expected to make this mission possible in about half a century.
