There's an HFY story where the guy in the slow ship became a tourist attraction for the advanced humans that beat him to his destination.
His bank account had grown to billions and they offered him billions more to keep it going.
Sounds awesome not only you skipped the hardest part you have everything setup and get to live a good life. Unless of course that was your goal to experience building the colony.
one of the, like 3, interesting quests in Starfield was based on that!
This is the plot of a short story, Far Centaurus, that I read a long time ago.
How is that not great for me? Setting up a colony must be hard work and all around pretty horrible.
I think that's exactly what one would be hoping for. One does this to escape the reality of human civilization and seek the adventure of building it over again.
It's like a start up. Show up early and buy in on low stocks, work your ass off, retire at 40. I'd assume it's something like that. Pick the best place to build your house, claim all the resources.
Or maybe he just wanted solitude.
FTL isn't possible, ERBs would pastafy any matter passing through them and there is no way to control the other end, and take Kardashev scale 3 civ at least (and that's even pretending the Kardashev scale isn't the purest daydream fantasy)
That's another solution to the Fermi paradox. FTL travel is impossible, but can't actually be proven to be impossible, so no one wants to be the sucker.
Don’t have to fll. Just have to be a third faster to give them 1000 years head start
