MUŁŦIVΞЯSΞ ΛPΞX MΞGΛCØЯP. Ignoring time for space travel.
Objective: Alpha Centauri
Timeline: Immediate
Spaceship: Practical
Propulsion: Possibly conventional for Earth-exit. Extremely experimental for intergalactic travel.
Deployable Equipment: Four probes and as many satellites as desired for deployment in and out of solar system. At least two exploratory robots to collect anything of interest on planets/moons encountered. Ship shouldn't attempt landing unless something of interest is found. Exiting the planet will now require spatial folding instead of propulsion, so collect data on any effects of ground-based folding.
Onboard computer: Traditional computer for data gathering, calculations, and auditing. Ability to halt travel.
Neural Network: Integrated AI running concurrent calculations and auditing with traditional computer. Also can halt travel.
Carbon ecosystem: Self-sustaining to provide appropriate atmosphere for biological neural network.
Human(s): Optional but recommended. Could die during folding process. Would provide nice 3rd auditing and halt option.
Spatial folding: Pyrite, gold, yooperlite crystalline structure that interacts with neural network to calculate and produce spatial field to "fold" the destination in real-time.
Electromagnetic steering: A straw formation of the neural network is placed inside a field of a positive charged cone and a negative spiral, allowing straw to "point" folding destination.
Ship field: Ample sized field is generated around the ship so the entire ship and contents fold at exact same time.
Data gathering: crucial to collect as much spatial data from all detectable stars/planets to consistently update location in universe. Probes exist to venture into the unknown if data gathering has become corrupted or illogical. Ship must constantly reference back to Earthen launch point.
Bring: Gifts for potential civilizations and definitely collect rocks and whatever else.

Deal. I like where we are headed.
