This is a good argument for transhumanism. People seem to have a problem with the speed of light since without FTL, unmodified humans cannot meaningfully travel interstellar distances - and pop culture entertainment has surreptitiously sold us on this, if only because otherwise the timeframes and types of bodies involved would not be "relatable" anymore for the common types of drama we consume. > Once consciousness has been digitized, you can beam it at the speed of light to a receiver. In principle yes, however, the energy required is still dramatic and bandwidth would probably still be a problem. It seems to me the default option would be to physically send non-aging transhumans, or virtualized/uploaded brains, or people in stasis (or a combination of these) using non-relativistic speeds.
