Not surprising, as such, but still, makes me kind of annoyed that stuff like Daedalus or Icarus never got off the drawing board years ago.

Daedalus and Icarus? Let's just turn Deimos into a colony ship and send it out there. What could possibly go wrong? :)

your better off using an ice dwarf. you could use nuclear thermal rockets, using the ice as propellant. it would need to be a generation ship but it would work.

You can try. Amidst the infinite possible outcomes in this universe, only the ones where I survive and succeed will be allowed to occur and cemented into the unchangeable past. I have died a thousand times and will die a thousand more. I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh, fitting into an infinite pattern.

I am Destiny.

Pfft, and then the Starghosts ate your brains.

Yes I'm going to continue making UFO Afterblank references, because I enjoy screwing with expectations.
