That is a long time to prep. If I did my math right, Voyager 1 can already reach a 2 light month distance in some 3000 years with its current speed. It sounds like we can reconvene to discuss this in a million years.
lightmonth=lightyear/365.25×30
= 777062051136000 meter
voyager1=16.9 ×1000meter / second
= 16900 meter⋅second⁻¹
(2×lightmonth)/voyager1 in year_julian
= 2914.03674714165947778331 year_julian
- sitkack 2y agoDepends on how much mass we want to get there. It could be our chance to be a two star species.
- yencabulator 2y agoI can guarantee any humans we ship out in the near future won't survive a million-year wait for it to come close...
- sitkack 2y agoI was thinking of something more along the lines of a large set of Obelisks.
