The Heinlein Plan...................
Hey, fiction or not, it makes more sense-go there and get a colony up and running while warp drive or whatever is researched here-at the very least it shortens the distance by a few 10000 miles...
One of my favorite authors-I was given my first Heinlein book at 10-11 by a cousin, and was hooked. I don’t remember the title, but I do remember the plot-an MD with a troubled marriage and a mid-life crisis is on a fishing/hunting trip, stumbles on several humanoid aliens wakening from hibernation, throws in with them, etc...
