Stunning Video Depicts How a Future Humanity Could Colonise The Galaxy
It seems like the stuff of dreams, the idea that humanity will one day venture beyond the Solar System and become an interstellar species. Who knows?

Stunning Video Depicts How a Future Humanity Could Colonise The Galaxy
“As part of the tenth annual Global Trajectory Optimization Competition (GOTC X), they created a simulation that showed how humanity could optimally colonize the Milky Way. This was in keeping with the competition’s theme of “Settlers of the Galaxy”, which challenged teams to find the most energy-efficient way of settling as many star systems as possible.”
> “generation ships”
Oh, a very conservative approach then. Good.

That video is so totally not what I expected – they are colonising extremely distant worlds long before nearby ones. And they are not even trying for the centre of the Milky Way where star and planet systems are much more prevalent. Why?
Total timespan in video is … um … 100 million years. 1,000 or so worlds in 100 million years does not seem like many.

Is it not science fiction?
Thanks for fixing the link mollwollfumble.

No impossible there were H.erectus in eastern Europe around that time
Sorry, wrong thread

Well, after 100 million years to cross the galaxy, what we’re seeing from generation ships is not even remotely Homo sapiens any more.

Quite.

Humanity will be so into gene manipulation we can choose body types and a lot of people will choose “classic”.

Except when you get to Body 10. The it won’t be an option.

It’s a real possibility. There are several sci-fi books that explore what humanity may choose to alter for reasons of fitting the environment (eg. egg laying humans), for fashion, for sex (eg. Boneless human), as a result of surgery (eg. Eye of a beetle), to better access the web (eg. Cyborg), for strength and speed, etc.
Does this “ Advance concepts team” get paid to come up with this?
Wish I could get a gig like that, getting paid to make stuff up.
(Sci fi writers have being doing it for a long time previously)

They won a competition sponsored by NASA so presumably yes.

Wow. So NASA has an excess budget for made up bullshit eh?.
Shouldn’t they just spend their money on doing stuff?
