Project Valkyrie
open-in-new
<p>The Valkyrie is a theoretical <a href="/facts/Spacecraft/YQqQaUw0">spacecraft</a> designed by <a href="/facts/Charles_Pellegrino/av1WN3XA">Charles Pellegrino</a> and Jim Powell (a physicist at <a href="/facts/Brookhaven_National_Laboratory/L2JrG0K1">Brookhaven National Laboratory</a>). The Valkyrie is theoretically able to accelerate to 92% the speed of light and decelerate afterward, carrying a small human crew to another star system. </p>
