Why go fast when you can go big? That's the basic idea of Generation Ships (Worldships, Interstellar Arks, Arkships, etc.), spacecraft large enough to support multiple generations.
The ships typically consist of rotating sections to simulate gravity and natural environments to accommodate crews for hundreds or even thousands of years in interstellar space.
