All the Democrats, illegal aliens, and globalists I can find.
They need to hire an Anthropologist or two, because that number (98) is way too low.
Send whatever number of conservatives so as not to contaminate the new pioneers.
Well, they put animals on the endangered species list when they have only 10,000 still kicking.
I used a stochastic Monte Carlo code to play roulette.
Lost everything.
But, if a colony ship full of couples nuts in space...it’ll push them backwards. —NdGTyson
They’d never make any progress.
it doesnt matter, the descendants of the originals will have no attachments to Earth, and will not fulfill the mission.......
Let me run this through the super computer.
The answer is.....16 trucks.
6300 years?? Humans would have been there and back long before the descendants would arrive. Likely they would be intercepted and offered a choice of destinations.

Specious profundity on an interstellar scale.
Hopefully including at least one that knows the difference between "effected" and "affected."
And how many generations of humans will live and pass on before any such question is in need of answering, and what will be the then technical abilities weighing on the question?
That makes attending this question now an execise of scientists with too much time on their hands - hopefully not at taxpayers expense.
number of women vs. men,
Isn’t this statement bigoted against the LGBT peoples???
This is hetero normative, and binary, in their assessment of sexual ratios, sexual reproduction, etc. What if there are disproportionate numbers of “gay” peoples or “transsexual” peoples who will be axed out of the reproductive cycles?
Will there be conventional marriage and families raising children in space?
They have to think through many many factors.
Suppose they arrive at Promixa Centauri, and find there are no earth like planets on which to settle? Then what?
No humans needed for this trip to Proxima Centauri.
Just send a “Noah’s Ark” ship, full of many different life species, animal and plants and germs and viruses and bacteria (and whatever other lifeforms there are).
Then, let “nature” take its course...
And “in due time”....
VOILA!!!!!
Humans would have evolved from those original travelers.
(Ask the ‘Darwinists” how that works; we humans on Earth are they descendants of a similar space ship that came here billions of years ago.) ;)
Zero. We shouldn’t be going anywhere else
How is this fair to the people three generations in who don’t have any desire to spend their lives in a tin can?
All members of Congress, although I doubt any of them could reproduce.
It depends.
What happens if the Centauri think it's a caravan of illegals coming from Central Milky Way?
Should we send just the children?

There was an episode of “Star Trek”, something like “The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky”, in which an entire population is traveling to a new destination, but unknown to them.
It was one of the better episodes but basically the idea is too far fetched.
