Glad you didn’t reward that behavior. WTF were they thinking?

Sad part is, the work could have been subbed out to the cheapest while homeowners paid much higher.
That is a good point.
Possible is good, and the used market has some candidates…
Yeah. The use case was going to be interesting.

That sells it.
Any good write-ups about Sega? I wonder what was happening financially.
Agreed, but Teens have lots of time. They are likely 90% of the audience.
Yes. I agree. Lots of hand waving.
I have lost track of the full conversation, but I was meaning beacon as a lighthouse, not as in lowjack. Both are good though.
I think better stories come from “adults did planning and communication, but shit went wrong” than “fuckers didn’t read any SciFi and assumed shit would just work.”
Yes. That is a problem. Not least of all for the sleeper ship.
I am going to assume any higher technology follow-up ship will only do best effort.
So, then there is a good window for memes about “lost” sleeper ships.
A beacon you leave behind. A small satellite left in Sol that contains notes.
Fuck. Did you think the sleeper ship was radioing Earth? It could have a local broadcast, but not at all my point.
Edit: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/beacon Beacons don’t have to move.
I want a future FTL capable Earth civilization to find the sleeper ship. The Earthlings are likely to notice a radio signal within our solar system as they build up for FTL.
We can forget all about it. The beacon will be attractive to them.
Space beacon can be in our solar system. It only needs to give start date, end point and route.
We can make-up FTL rules. They can use future magic tech to send probes out ever X distance to look for sleeper ship. Or not.
The space beacon doesn’t have to be far out. Just far enough no one nukes it in WW3.
The FTL civilization will likely notice a radio signal from within our solar system.
50 years is terribly short. 500 maybe.
Also, resolvable. Space beacons, stone tablets, etc.
If you can think of it, so can they.
Or you know, this is discussed in advance and the faster ships pickup the slower ships on the way (if possible).
I get the world is a shit show, but it is less so when we discuss.
Fun meme though.
Just so everyone’s aware this did did it on purpose and lived.
Very important to note he is a stuntman. Not a depressed guy.
It smells of contractor (and subcontractor) work. At some point someone with very little latitude is reading poorly phrased directions.
Frasier In Space.
Using his full name at work?
(Gonna just Emhoff this here.)
