Q&A

Despite our inability to judge vast distances of space why would spacecraft still have windows?

+0
−0

Human have begun colonizing the solar system using the ablative laser microwave drive, our next target is Proxima Centauri and inbetween there is basically nothing except dust and occasional asteroids which is entirely avoidable even with blindfold. What can be the reason to install plain windows onboard when almost every spacecraft is running on autopilot? The journey might span several decades... as usual no FTL nor cryogenic freezing etc you get the drift.
