@matrix Yeah I've read all these SF authors, I think... and yellow is the best. :)

@randrews @matrix did red ever solve the whole human soup problem?

@matrix

@LukeAlmighty @matrix The generation ship would be grimdark and kind of crappy. It would literally be only one or two generations until people thought it was made up and didn't believe any of the history. We'd see entire cults form around the idea that there never was an earth.
@BowsacNoodle @LukeAlmighty @matrix Man, that sounds terrible. I wonder what would need to happen in order to free them?
@matrix LOWER RIGHT CORNER IS NOT EXAGGERATING TIME DILATION QUITE ENOUGH
IT WOULDN'T BE 7X AT 99.99999

REMEMBER
YOU CAN GO AS MUCH FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT AS YOU WANT
YOU CAN HOP ACROSS THE GALAXY IN FIVE MINUTES
BUT TIME PASSAGE IN THE REST OF THAT GALAXY, ALL THE PARTS NOT HOPPING WITH YOU, WILL SPEED UP SO MUCH THAT THE SAME TIME WILL HAVE PASSED FOR THEM AS IF YOU TRAVELLED ACROSS THE GALAXY AT THE 99.999999% OF THE SLOW OF LIGHT
@matrix WHICH WAS A POINT IN SOME HOMEBREW I DID WHERE I KNOCKED OFF 40K WITHOUT ANY WARP -- STARSHIP ENTERPRISE 1980S US-EU-USSR JOINT EXPEDITION TO TAU CETI RETURNED TO PISS EARTH 2250 AND COMPLETELY REEXAMINED THEIR TECH OPTIMISM LIBTARD PRIORS, AND THEIR DESCENDANTS AND COHORTS NOW CRUISE AROUND THE GALAXY AT RELATIVISTIC SPEEDS, POPPING UP OUT OF NOWHERE NEXT TO KNOWN HUMAN WORLDS AND PURGING AND RESEEDING HERITAGE GENOTYPES AND CULTURE
