That's a problem that's easy to fix with a fridge and a bunch of embryos. They take practically no space.

  The question is how well will they hold up for 400 years? Well, that, and how do you ensure that the people 400 years from now would know what they are for or how to implant them? Lots of unknowns. Would make for an interesting story though

    > how do you ensure that the people 400 years from now would know what they are for or how to implant them? A ship travelling at 0.01c for 400 years could get 4 ly away. They'd still be able to be coached. More likely: their computers would still be able to be updated.

      Of course there is this thing is that while they were coasting faster technology was developed and another ship arrived way before them, with better computers, engines, everything.

  So far the only known technology to bring embryos to life is through alive female host, so you still need healthy, and on top of that, willing population to use embryos.

    ... Yes? The question specifically was: > Is this enough for a healthy breeding population? Through the use of technology, this limit can be completely sidestepped.
