This is something you and I have talked about, of course, but I'm not sure people really think about the ethical aspects of this type of space travel.

I don't think they are ethical. They would doom countless generations to a life that they didn't choose by a world they've never seen all for a mission they'll never complete.

This is the first I've ever heard of this and it's an interesting concept. We do need better forms of space propulsion but we should at least test the waters in our own solar system, so to speak. It's been 43 years since we landed on the moon and we haven't done jack shit since then. It's almost as if we need the threat of a nuclear war to get anything done. Pathetic.
