@alanburdick we can already do much better than the 80k yr trip now if we wanted to. It'll be *hard*, but not impossible 2 visit. -
it's true that it's still ridiculously far away, but 80k years is worst-case-scenario, not an average.
-
thx! still a dog's age, though, and the target is fleeing (starting in 10k years or so)
-
of course! It'll b really really hard, I just thought ending was *too* bleak. I'm convinced there *could* b a future out there.
-
hard truths, my friend!
-
I appreciate the article regardless. Just think it's too depressing 2 think we're limited. We clearly won't solve our problems.
-
so things will inevitably fall apart here, then that'll be the end of it. I don't want to think like that.
