We can dare to dream of the stars again, if only we can achieve this small thing.

RE: We can dare to dream of the stars again, if only we can achieve this small thing.



I had an idea as I was tumbling out of bed this morning. Instead of populating a generation ship with live humans, populate it with either robots, engineered "slave species", cybernetic slave species, or some combination. Then simply put the necessary biological seed material in long term storage. This way, you could simply omit the pesky human psychological element, and the robots and other non-human bio-forms could work in environments that are hazardous to humans both in transit and upon arrival. Once these servant life units created the proper bio-environment, it could be populated with the stored biological materials.
