There is foundational research being done on destructive brain scanning and emulation. It is decades—at a minimum—away from being more realizable.
You don't need to send a generation ship, just solar sails powered by massive laser installations that have enough tech on board to convert an asteroid into a receiver.
To be fair, 1000 years is not very long when you have digital immortality.
- tgv 6y agoIs there even an electrolytic cap that survives a 1000 year space trip?
- nynx 6y agoProbably not right now, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Anyhow, a laser propelled solar sail would make the journey to, say, alpha centuri in more like 20-40 years. There's really not much point in slow travel if you can, instead, launch a self-replicator, wait a few decades for it to get there, and then just cast on over.
