    Don’t agree. Play a little Elite Dangerous or any game that can simulate scale of our solar system. Moving around it, even at multiple times the speed of light can be useful.

    Imagine making a trip to Ganymede within a day. It would allow for civilizations expansion while maintaining supply chains and not require each place to be wholly independent.

      I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice to go fast. I’m saying it isn’t necessary.

      Or possible, which makes the debate somewhat moot. We’ll get by with sublight speeds.
