The New Voyager Program was built around swarms of thousands of tiny spacecraft with solar sails. Powerful orbital laser arrays accelerated them up to one quarter of the speed of light for the trip across the interstellar gulfs. They traveled in swarms and spent the decades of travel in constant communication with each other. They developed complex communities and specializations as they studied human history and considered the future. They performed experiments in the depths of interstellar space and beamed their discoveries back to Earth. It is a little known fact that their experiments outside humanity’s home system paved the way for the discovery of hyperspace.
