    Now that you bring it up, of course we’ve studied whether babies can be made in a spaceship. It’s literally the only other option for interstellar travel besides cryogenic freezing, which is far more sci-fi than spacesex. Or spacex for short.

      Any generational ship will mutiny within one generation and likely die off by the second

      Interstellar travel is a pipe dream made up by people tired of saving what we already are losing

          We can’t even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we’re gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?

          I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission

          You really don’t want to go down that line with a guy on the spectrum that has spent literally half a century thinking about space travel. You really don’t.
