A tangential question that has always bothered me is "How do you get to Alpha Centauri". Or to put it another way, I can probably set off to Alpha Centauri using today's technology. My corpse would arrive there probably in 130,000 years. Give or take an order of magnitude (I've not run the numbers properly). Now I'm extremely confident that the human race in the next 100 years could design a craft that would be able to travel to Alpha Centauri in less than 129,900 years. So. How do I get to alpha centauri? Just a vaguely interesting question that bothers me. Or to put it another way, how pissed off would you be when you set off to alpha centuri and you arrive to find your bloody grandson vaping and listening to Lil Nas x.
