Wikipedia Wrote:A generation ship or generation starship is a hypothetical type of interstellar ark starship that travels across great distances between stars at a speed much slower than the speed of light.

Since such a ship might take centuries to thousands of years to reach even nearby stars, the original occupants of a generation ship would grow old and die, leaving their descendants to continue traveling.
