The shots from my remote cameras are absolutely unreal. Hopefully will have something mind-blowing to share tomorrow :)
“The universe is too big, intelligent life can’t get to us (without FTL)” is one of those idiotic truisms perpetuated by endless Carl Sagan and Neil Degrasse Tyson specials. This is a common misconception based on ridiculous statements about Voyager. Voyager is traveling absurdly slow. If we were interested in sending a vehicle to Alpha Centauri inside of 1 human lifetime, entirely using nuclear and chemical reactional propulsion, we could. You can get to .2 or .3c with a large enough fission/fusion/rocket, which are entirely known regimes of physics. It would be a monumental engineering undertaking but not unlike the Hoover Dam or Apollo. We just aren’t that motivated. This is if we were compelled to send frail, living humans. If we sent AI the time problem disappears entirely. John Von Neumann figured this out like literally 100 years ago.
