You're right, let's send 1 person into the fuck of space just to say we did it.

I'm not being sarcastic.

Elon on top of a super-heavy. He can be like Solomon Epstein.

"I trust them as far as I can throw them"
"Bet"

Like build one really really big space trabuchet, loaded with a space hotel with all the amenities possible for basically a one way generational ship. Then blast those fuckers towards alpha centari and call it a decade.

Oh, and just for fun, give them one life pod but it only holds 20 people.

But the real kicker? ...they never left the ground And it's all televised.

The launch sequence? Really fast merry go round.

The "artificial gravity"? Lol

The infinite food sources vending machines? Catering.

Yes! Thanks I had no idea this was a thing.

Sure but even if we had stuck someone on voyager 1, it's only 23 light hours away and has been going almost 50 years.

Let's send ~~1 person~~ 2 people...

Let's invent teleportation, then use the teleporter to merge them into a homunculus flesh beast, and then launch that thing into the sun.

Unrelated, but I thought it would be a good idea.

What if the homunculus argues that it, as a new and distinct being, has committed no crimes, and deserves to live? What if it begs for its life as you load it into the teleporter to ~~split it back up into your science officer and annoying morale officer~~ shoot it into the sun?

We’ll just get Cate Mulgrew to argue that point.

Homunculus is a little person that is proportional. You cant merge two tall, fat fucks and get one little person. 4 or 5 homunculi, maybe. But not one.
