    well they were kind of at the cusp of going extra solar. they only had the epstien drive for about a hundred years when the show/books starts. the drive isnt the only problem you have to solve. how to keep a life support system running for 100+ years, how to set up a compatible ecosystem when you do find an appropriate planet. hell just time to design and build the ship, a megaproject in its own right, would have consumed most of that time. 

    Fred Johnson said a bit about the flight profile of the Nauvoo- it would accelerate to its interstellar trajectory, and then the engines would shut off- the drive wasn't a problem. It the ecosystem of the Nauvoo was the big issue.

    Me too, but @Pak has done absolutely amazing things with the Cormorant Mk3 system including retexturing parts, decals, payload parts for the shuttle, a Block II shuttle, and even Shuttle-C. I believe it has or will soon have a shuttle manipulator too. KSOS had it's day in the sun, but the Cormorant is far better IMO.

    I more meant your KSOS mission reports- could never get the damn mod to work

    Join the club.

    Been following Angel since the KSOS mission reports and I hecked my computer by accident a few months back and can't afford a new one- I've got a notebook that allows me to do work and play Democracy or the Legend of Korra video game, nothing more. I can't even play KSP but I'm super invested in these mods because he's head and shoulders above any other parts modder on the forums

    I was wondering, back in the colonial days, long before telegram, empires functioned smoothly even when there was a delay of over a year in communications. Won't the same apply when it comes to Duna? Or for that matter, Mars as well?

    Colonialism functioned to due exploitation of the locals- either through slavery or genocide. Everyone was united in the common goal of expanding what they saw as the correct way of life (for example, the French Republic or the British Empire) and slavery, although morally reprehensable, is great for the economy. Things turned out for the colonizing soldiers and elite because they had endless resources, including human, at their fingertips that they could exploit at any time.

    I doubt there would be native Dunans to slaughter so I don't think that would happen here
