This is clearly a Dyson Sphere type structure -- they don't have to completely enclose the star to work. I for one cannot wait to wage war with these creatures -- we must gain control of The Sphere.
New Horizons isn't nearly that fast (not moving at .067% light speed) -- there are several probes that have gone faster and one probe that will orbit closely to the sun that will be moving near .067% light. That's about 500,000 mph.
I had a buddy in college who came down one morning and was absolutely convinced that the formula for going faster than light had come to him in a dream but he could only write down part of it when he woke up. I think he sells insurance now.
Sure, but at the same time, that also means what we're seeing right now was from the year 515 or something. Think about that in terms of our own history.....hell, the Renaissance was almost 1000 years away, and with that came some of our most advanced astronomers finally figuring out just what in the God's name was going on out there. To these aliens, we're probably nothing more than Neanderthals just learning about fire.
LOL, millions of years to get there?... You guys are over-thinking it! All we have to do is find the Stargate that was left behind eons ago! Spoiler (1.) Learn how to operate it ... Spoiler (2.) Face our fears and walk into it ... Spoiler (3.) Presto! Your there!!! We'll be racking up frequent flyer miles in no time!!! ....... ....... .......
We can get there pretty easily. All we need to do is make our rocket ships several orders of magnitude more efficient and figure out how to dodge even the most minute space debris. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_using_constant_acceleration
Just make all the contracts "privatized" and guarantee a special allotment for key defense contractors. Spread construction across red states... Toss in some tax cuts... Include an official space chaplain... Aaaand boyah! We in space people! :grin:
Did Jesus die for the sins of Reptilians and Greys, or just humans? Do we need to send space missionaries to Zeta Reticuli?
