It’s better narrated than the other one, which sounds like they got some random drunk, trucker to read it over his steak and eggs and labatt blue (trucker beer).
Excellent story, the first I know that included the Bussard Ramjet. Unfortunately the Hydrogen density is thinner than thought in 1960, and the drag from having to accelerate the gas to the speed of the ramjet much than more than expected, greater than the thrust. variation on the design is possible, one is the “ram augmented interstellar rocket”. This has three sub sections, a fusion reactor, Magnetic scoop field, and a plasma accelerator- a accelerator in this case A heat exchange system transferring heat energy from the reactor (the fuel) to the interstellar gas, the propellant, which I think is the design used in the story.
At the point when they’re about to impact the nebulina, he says: “In our own frame of reference, we are accelerating at approximately three gravities. In terms of the outside universe, however, that acceleration is not constant, but steadily decreasing. Therefore we cannot change course fast. Even a full vector normal to our velocity would not get us far enough aside before the encounter.” Can someone explain this? Why the acceleration is decreasing from the universe frame? Thank you.

Made it 12 minutes. This is a terrible way to narrate. Stuttered, forced. Almost no inflection. Very spaced out sentences. Overall very amatuer.
He sounds constipated.
Great story terrible narration q
Yep... but this guy’s a natural sounding genius compared to the guy who reads P.A.’s “Security” (and unfortunately many others)
Can't ...... listen ..... ears ..... burning ..... noooo!
And. I. Can. Not. Bear. To. Listen. To. This. Awful. Narration.
ainsi kharab nai
Lol
Its free , I've heard much worse
Awful narration
Grift reading.Unlistenable
