It's an interesting sci-fi thought, but why wouldn't the second spaceship just catch up with the first one and pick up the passengers to avoid their unnecessary travel time?
- taftster 5y agoIncompatible docking apparatus, not backwards compatible. Engineers invented these doors, after all.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoSo? If you know there's another spaceship that you're going to pass and you need to pick people up, you make your docking apparatus backwards compatible. This isn't rocket science :-)
- tsol 5y agoYes but this spaceship was made by Apple. It's a feature.
- antod 5y agoBecause you'd have to leave the 2nd one nearly empty to fit the extra passengers in? Might be a good idea if nobody wants to go on the 2nd ship though.
- LocalPCGuy 5y agoWhy pick up the passengers only? Plan ahead and build it to pick up the entire ship, including not just the passengers but all the materials and supplies they had packed as well.
