      From: jasperhb01@gmail.com              Though, wouldn't it be somewhat easier and cheaper to use some kind of       laser-pushed lightsail? And how much would the "seed module" mass, anyhow?              > In my own sf universe, I have dealt with too high mass ratio problem by       setting the action in a dense star cluster, where distances between stars       rarely go higher than 2 lightyears. Kind off like Firefly show, huh?              IIRC, Firefly wasn't set in a star cluster. It was set in a star system that       had an improbably high number of stars.              > Also, what's your setting? Is it out world, Earth, or something else?       It's Earth and stars within ~1500 light years. Though I intend the seedship to       have been from a completely different species.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
