I designed a crewed interstellar spacecraft

That would depend on what the ship was made from or any electromagnetic shield they managed to devise.

If its going to travel between the stars with us inside its going to have to be rather a robust affair after all.

Interstellar travel/colonization implies a cultural disconnect. Just as trans-Atlantic colonization did. But more so.

Whoever they may end up being, they won't be us. But they might be human, at least. And a revolutionary war is highly unlikely.

It just would not be the same without communication and trade.

Any kind of war is lightly where we are concerned.

So whatever we send, its probobly best that its not us, at least to begin with.

Best for whom?

a reply to: Phage

Whoever else is out there i suppose within distances we can send probes.

I mean learning about, or talking to people is one thing, but when they turn up on your doorstep unannounced, make a mess, demand things, and we will indeed demand things, its a whole nother kettle of fish to contend with.
