100-Year Starship

Anyone know about the plans of a 100-Year Starship?

A one way ticket to colonize.

A NASA official may have made a 35-million-mile slip of the tongue.

From
www.foxnews.com...
"The director of NASA's Ames Research Center in California casually let slip mention of the 100-Year Starship recently, a new program funded by the super-secret government agency, DARPA. In a talk at San Francisco's Long Conversation conference
, Simon “Pete” Worden said DARPA has $1M to spend, plus another $100,000 from NASA itself, for the program, which will initially develop a new kind of propulsion engine that will take us to Mars or beyond.

There's only one problem: The astronauts won't come back. "
