  Generation ship - Definition, explanation
A generation ship is a theoretical starship that would travel much slower than light across great distances between stars (see interstellar travel).
Generation ships are often found in science fiction stories.
A common theme is that inhabitants of a generation ship have forgotten that they are on a ship at all, and believe their ship to be the entire universe.

 Cross generation ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cross generation ship is a variant of a generation ship that takes into account obstacles that slower than light generation ships might have.
The cross generation ship is a concept that attempts to solve these problems by eliminating the idea of colonizing with a single ship.
Since any one of these ships would not be designed to be self-sufficient forever, they are expected to cost less and take less time to design, build, and test than a true generation ship, although a fully self-sufficient generation ship could take part in a cross generation ship fleet.

 GENERATION SHIPS
Generations ships are usually touted as a type of interstellar ship that could be built today, but the truth is many significant advances would still have to be made in propulsion, recycling, and artificial habitat technology to make them possible.
The generation ship could also pick up additional resources by mining comets or asteroids that may be along its way with subcraft, or the world where the ship was launched may have sent unmanned resupply ships ahead of the main spacecraft.
One of the perils of generation ships that has served as the gristle for a great many science fiction stories is that human societies are dynamic, not static, and the culture on board a generation ship is bound to change in the decades or centuries the vessel will be en route.

 The Ship Draughtsman by Colin Tipping
Ship structures do flex in response to sea conditions and loading, and the draughtsman had been able to allow for these, and have his designs approved by the classification societies.
During the war the US Army had converted cargo ships to carry pre-packed equipment to and from specially built port facilities, but it was not until 1966 that the ‘revolution got under way’, and this would be considered as ‘The year of the container’.
The parallel erosion of access to the higher levels of management, generated by changes in education and training, and the differential in wages, hours, and pensions, resulted in the labour organization of the draughtsmen becoming similar to that of the manual trades, thus diminishing their craft or employment status.

There are few more stirringly imaginative themes in science fiction than that of the generations-ship—the spaceship whereby man may cross the light-years separating us from the stars, even at speeds much less than that of light, creating a self-sufficient microcosm in which the great-great-..-great-grandchildren of the original voyagers may at last make planet-fall.
