Can we discuss and philosophize about a manned or (un)manned mission to one of the largest stars (supergiants) known in the milky way,in the very far future ,i know that we dont have any technology to travel farther than our solarsystem but in the far future it is possible i think. First we can go unmanned to this superstar to send a spacecraft (a fast spacecraft) to this big red super or even hypergiant star ,and put the spacecraft in an orbit of the star and discover and takes photographs of it,and send it to the earth. Or we can return the spacecraft back to our solarsystem and finally the earth to put it in orbit of the earth,and send all the collected information (directly) to us ,or we can get it (safely) back on the earth. Second,we can get manned to this very big star with a superfast spaceship that can reach 30 or 50 or more percent of the speed of light ,and maybe we can the astronauts freeze in and defrost them when we are 2 lightyear away from the star to can do the preparings before we arrive in the neighborhood of the star and can (de)accelerate the ship. And when we have reached the star the astronauts are leaving the ship to make spacewalkings to discover the enormous star that has a diameter which is wider than the distance of pluto from the sun. The astronauts will have an unimaginable remarable ,but beautifull view at this terrifying looking big star. We will need very special spacesuits to protect the astronauts against the enormous heat in the neighborhood of the star ,maybe it will be hotter than it is at Mercury (the closest planet to the sun) There is an very important thing that we will keep in mind ,before we will go to this star,we have to know (exactly) when this star explodes as a supernova (red supergiants ending their lives in a supernova explosion) because it is not so funny when you are there and it explodes,that will be (of course) fatal for the astronauts. If we ever will go to this enormous star ,we need to study it for a long time. And then it will be a long way to get the ship with astronauts safely back to the earth ,or maybe they will stay there for the rest of their lives and dont return back to earth and stay in the ship and colonize the neighborhood,and send all the information of the star back to the earth ,but it can take years before it arrives here. I like to discuss about this huge future spacemission ,and what do you think about it? Hopefully this can get a (succesfull) thread. Thanks and greetings.
