There's a couple ways to work with Einstein constraints.
Generation ships are the easiest to engineer, as the tech is nearly there.
Another way would be figuring out a way to backup people, ship their records and a genetic engineering factory ship to another star, and then download people in to some kind of life form once there. Not sure if we'll ever be able to really scan a person in to some kind of storage buffer, though.
I guess one could also ship viable sperm/egg and try to run some kind of automated test tube process, followed by machine raising children and such. That one would make an interesting story. How well could machines raise a basic crew of a gene ship, who would then be charged with raising wave after wave of colonists.
I sold my Garand and 03 Springfield when kid was coming. Really needed the money back then. Wish I still had it. All I got left is my M1 Carbine. Would be nice to have complete set again.
I was a crew chief on a KC-135a, back in the 80's. Ours was a pretty new plane, being put in to service in 64. Sitting on the ground, the left wing was visibly lower than the right and they still allowed it to fly. Had the most on time take offs for any of the tanker fleet at Fairchild AFB in '88. Kinda' miss the old beast. Is cool that they're still seeing service.
I was thinking of a way to place several geothermal hot spots and then a way of programing in a chance of a super volcano blowing in one of them and wiping out a large radius of growth. I don't know enough about game hacking to do this, though.
One of the theories as to how explosive eruptions occur is that when pressure is suddenly released over a magma chamber, the dissolved gas within the magma starts bubbling up (open a bottle of pop suddenly) and carries magma up and out.
Now, for us to try and tap a magma chamber 3-10 miles below ground, we'd likely have to be using some kind of explosive mining technique and when we finally break through to the chamber?
Reminds me of H. Beam Piper's vision of the future; North America, Europe and Asia devastated by nuclear exchange, with Argentina and South Africa the two new power houses of the world.
Like that hand painted copy of The Starry Night I bought over there. Yup, mine was the original (and only$38.00 after exchange rate) while that one in MoMA is the copy. Suite!

1. They changed libraries on their OS X disk imaged machines and thereby created a derivative work.
2. MicroSoft (thanks to advice of IP lawyer dad Bill Senior) got a contract with IBM where MicroSoft retained distribution rights to DOS. D'oh!
I installed a copy on my Quadra 650 back in 99. Good thing I didn't try to sell it.
Ha-ha! /Nelson
The middle star of Orion's sword is the Orion nebula. It might resolve to a reddish smudge or might actually look nebulish.
The Pleides, in the shoulder of Taurus looks very pretty in a small scope as well.

Ah, it's invisible but leaves foot prints. Can likely also peek in to the women's showers.
I do that a lot.
Wasn't Tidal Locking the bouncy brunette on that beach rescue show, back in the '90's?
Some receivers ain't worth all the pay and hype they get.
Yeah, even my cat would be doin' it.
Oh yeah, chickens don't have belly buttons.

But I have no where else to go.
Any barrel rolls?

Don't forget Pauly Shore.
But only if you've developed ecological engineering. Otherwise, you only get 2-4 energy and minerals.
Ok, I really want to set this up as a Civ/SMAC scenario. Could be fun!
Would likely be time to transfer military and economic centers to Australia and maybe take over Argentina.

Kablooie!

Ah, one of these popular music bands that can be received on the radio tuning device.

We're Public Works. We don't make mistakes.

They've gone back to Metric and didn't tell us.
