How Would an Interstellar Ark Ship Survive The Brutal Conditions Of Deep Space?

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/033fToV... Between the stars there is no air, no warmth, and no shelter from a rain of radiation that never stops. An interstellar ark ship would have to endure it for four hundred years, while thin gas and dust meet its bow at thousands of kilometres every second and every seal aboard slowly ages. Tonight we follow that ship past the edge of the Sun's protection, one quiet hazard at a time. What would it really take for a small world of people to outlast the dark between the stars?
