That sentence right there is worth the read...
On another note, I'm sure my other half is a bear, or at least a genetic anomaly. She can somehow sleep 16 hours a day for days on end.
Not to be alarmist but unless you are exaggerating, no mentally or physically healthy human being needs that much sleep.
That said, thanks for pointing it out - it didnt occur to me that it could be a symptom of something.
They say 4 people need 11 tons of food for a 1100 day mission. That’s 2.5 kg per person per day. It looks like this includes water. Water can (and is) recycled in space missions. A lot of food in space is dehydrated (you can buy astronaut ice cream at any science museum, and it’s not that bad). You may get away with only 0.5 kg of solid food per person per day.
If they did the same type of generous estimates elsewhere, then maybe 100 tons would suffice, instead of 300. And 100 tons is how much the Statship is supposed to be able to carry.
seems simple enough
Beyond that, I think humans may eventually colonize the moon, Mars, and the clouds of Venus, but I highly doubt we will make it out of the Solar System before our species dies out.
Edit: I hope to be wrong.
