More like 20 - 30 thousand MPH. Far too slow to cover solar systems
distences quickly. But we do know of much better systems.
We could work on a Alpha Centuri flight. Thats closer to our capacity.
Oh, as far as cabin space. Its going to need to be big because of the need
for a large diameter centrafuge, and because the crew will need a lot of room
to keep from going stire crazy!
