A Trillion Rogue Planets and Not One Sun to Shine on Them
- PaulHoule 2y agoMy take is that these are the key to interstellar travel in that you don't have to make it all the way to the next star to fuel up. These may also be an answer to the Fermi paradox in the sense that a species that perfected D+D fusion might be able to build larger space colonies and live their lifestyle out there, possibly consuming objects like dwarf planet Pluto entirely. "People" like that might have no interest at all in dry inner solar system objects.
