DARPA's 100 Year Starship Study

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) attempts to "boldly go where no man has gone before." 

The agency has released a request for information to solicit ideas for the 100 Year Starship Study™ program, which aims to develop a viable and sustainable model for persistent, long-term, private-sector interstellar space travel.

DARPA wants to re-engage students, academia, industry, researches and the general public by sparking a sense of wonder and to encourage them to ask "why not?" when it comes to research and development of spaceflight.
