With Stasis, we could reach the stars now, with a sleeping crew. The other choice is a generation type ship where great grand kids will be the ones that arrive. A ramscoop, to collect and use interstellar fuel, with an Ion Drive would arrive a lot faster. ALL exciting!
It would be great to use, the gate seeding ship could be automatic; with a crew in stasis, for backup.
:)>yea

:)>To double the odds, they should do both approaches simultaneously.
Sounds good, the 'stasis' style ship would be less expensive, due to smaller size; but going just to know what is there, is exciting!
No free fall with Ion drive...they could boost continually, and build up a lot more speed!
:)>Have you seen The Expanse?
I have seen it on roku, but haven't had time to watch yet, Is it worth watching? I will find it again.
:)>It reminds me of Battlestar Galactica in some ways. I love The Expanse.
