'''Spaceflight''' is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board. This is seen at various different levels of technology in fiction:


*Human spaceflight
*'''Human Spaceflight:''' Spaceflight of our current age, this is the lowest technological form, allowing trips to the Moon to take 3 days. However it takes nearly a year to get to even the nearest planet.
*Interplanetary spaceflight
*'''Interplanetary Spaceflight:''' Spaceflight of a race that has become highly advanced being capable of traveling to other planets in a short timeframe.
*Interstellar travel
*'''Interstellar Travel:''' The common form of travel in most science-fiction series, this is technology allowing one to travel across to different solar systems in a short timeframe.
*Intergalactic travel
*'''Intergalactic Travel:''' Another common form of travel in most science-fiction series, this is technology allowing one to travel across different galaxies in a short timeframe.


You can also move in space through the [[Magic|magic]] that can be used as a one of the above principles and to work in a completely different laws.
There are other forms of space flight beyond simply using a spacecraft howere, the following are listed below:
*'''Movement through abilities:''' Usually consisting of travel by [[Gravity Manipulation|manipulating gravity]] and movement through various [[Portal Creation|portals]]. This could also consist of travel through space via [[Flight]] the most common form, allowing the user to ignore the dangers of [[Space|space]].


== Types ==
*'''Movement through other non-spacecraft technology:''' Usually a form of teleporter that allows one to traverse in space without moving inside of a space craft, those these are normally very rare.
*'''Limited spaceflight''' - moving within the Earth orbit. For such a trip does not need any special equipment or vessels, just need to overcome the attraction of the earth.
*'''Spaceflight by other space objects''' - used for moving meteors, asteroids, comets, or even whole planets. The disadvantage is the limited mobility of this "spacecraft" and the lack of protection from unfavorable external environment.
*'''Spaceflight with the help of special devices''' - used to move various technical devices or specialized artifacts. Usually they are limited by the speed / range, and in addition, in some cases protection against unfavorable external environment has to provide separately.
*'''Moving due to manipulation of the physical laws and constants''' - this includes both travel by [[Gravity Manipulation|manipulating gravity]] and movement through various [[Teleportation|portals]]. The disadvantage is that the protection from unfavorable environment is necessary to provide separately. Besides often first have to go to the near-Earth space, and only then you can move using the [[Teleportation|portal]] or the sub-space distortion.
*'''Moving due to size''' - characters whose scale reaches of the planet or star, can travel in space at the expense of ordinary movements.

Summary

Spaceflight is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board. This is seen at various different levels of technology in fiction:

  • Human Spaceflight: Spaceflight of our current age, this is the lowest technological form, allowing trips to the Moon to take 3 days. However it takes nearly a year to get to even the nearest planet.
  • Interplanetary Spaceflight: Spaceflight of a race that has become highly advanced being capable of traveling to other planets in a short timeframe.
  • Interstellar Travel: The common form of travel in most science-fiction series, this is technology allowing one to travel across to different solar systems in a short timeframe.
  • Intergalactic Travel: Another common form of travel in most science-fiction series, this is technology allowing one to travel across different galaxies in a short timeframe.

There are other forms of space flight beyond simply using a spacecraft howere, the following are listed below:

  • Movement through abilities: Usually consisting of travel by manipulating gravity and movement through various portals. This could also consist of travel through space via Flight the most common form, allowing the user to ignore the dangers of space.
  • Movement through other non-spacecraft technology: Usually a form of teleporter that allows one to traverse in space without moving inside of a space craft, those these are normally very rare.
