Non notable project. 1 RSish link, the rest all self published. Article created by member of group (per his comment on article talk) Gaijin42 (talk) 19:10, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given that we're only a few months away from the project's estimated completion date, I'd rather see us have this conversation after that few months has passed. If the project generates significant media coverage at that time it can be improved upon. If it doesn't, it should be deleted. — Gopher65_talk 00:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Project Icarus ran a starship design competition in 2013 which generated research options for interstellar flight capable vehicles. These design studies are summarized here: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/project-icarus-workshop-winner-announced-andreas-heins-ghost-future-plans/. Given there are only a handful of serious researchers studying interstellar flight and that this design competition alone doubled the number of studies for such vehicles, their work is both of scientific value and beneficial to directing education in astronomy, astrophysics and spacecraft design. ie, what these guys are doing has value, as does its presence on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blakeredfield (talk • contribs) 12:36, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
