Deep space exploration

Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft.

[5] The latter, beamed propulsion, appears to be the best candidate for deep space exploration presently available, since it uses known physics and known technology that is being developed for other purposes.

Jemison aims to increase public interest in future deep space exploration projects.

[7] Upon awarding the money to Jemison, a "100 Year Starship" symposium was held in Houston, Texas, to discuss interstellar travel.
