How is that not a one way trip?
- cryptoz 13y agoStaying on Earth is also a one way trip then.
- chucknelson 13y agoI think the point was more about a one-way trip for a single person. I'd agree that it's not a one-way trip for humanity, though. Once some of us get there (e.g., progeny of the original crew), eventually some of us could get back to Earth too (at some later date). Assuming Earth isn't destroyed by that point...
- hnriot 13y agoProbably by the time the progeny get back to Earth the current species will have self-annihilated and the earth would have returned to a more peaceful place, the atmosphere recovered, the vegetation replacing the asphalt and the oceans clean and pure. A few thousands years peace is exactly what the Earth needs.
- obviouslygreen 13y agoWithout the "trip" part.
- ceejayoz 13y agoIt's not even a one-way trip unless you count procreation. It's likely a part-of-the-way-then-die trip.
