If we could get up to 1/100th of the speed of light, a generation ship could be then in only two millennia. We're probably just a century away(if that much), considering the medical advances being made, from a workable stasis system where a journey of several thousand years is possible without the need of a generation ship.

"Around once a month, if I put my left ear to the pillow directly, I will hear what sounds just like a TV or radio in another room. Too faint to make out individual words but definitely something there...Last time, I finally said to myself that I must have left the TV on. I got up and nothing was turned on." When I was about 10 years old I had to get a filling in one of my molars. One day, for reasons I can't explain (other than kids do stupid things) I put the jack for my older brother's electric guitar in my mouth and when I touched it against the filling, it played a local AM station through the amp.

Speaking of Pakistanis, I once took Babu Bhat on a trip to find life in space. I had to listen to him keep saying “There are no people. Where is people? Show me people!”

If the Voyager spacecraft, launched in the ‘70’s had been sent on an intercept course to Alpha Centari, the next nearest star to the Sun, it would take almost 100 thousand years to get there.

Ska is fun.
Drunk Russian Ska must be off the hook.
I need more beer and smokes.

I have metal fillings in two teeth. Several times a year as I lie in bed I can here voices and music as they apparently pick up radio waves. Just like that episode of gilligans island. Do u have fillings?
To: Deathtomarxists; Joe 6-pack
I have heard of that before and actually thought about it, but the noise seems to come from a distance away or at least in another room.

a habitable planet 22 light years away, eh?
where do we nominate astronauts to send there (like corrupt or sold-out or seditious WashDC office holders)
indeed, it would be just fine with me if the place turned out to be uninhabitable

“Ping me when we get a 200 year lifespan.”
The 200 year lifespan is unnecessary when using multi-generation colonies aboard an asteroid/s. However, there would be no need to colonize any planets after arrival in the other star system.

It’s only been 112 years since we got a heavier than air craft off the ground and about 50 since pretty much everyone had to use a slide rule to figure mathy stuff out. I’m betting it’ll come a lot sooner than 200 years.
