Interstellar Quotes

Statistically it’s a certainty there are hugely advanced civilizations, intelligences, life forms out there. I believe they’re so advanced they’re even doing interstellar travel. I believe it’s possible they even came here Picture Quote #1

Scrape the surface of language, and you will behold interstellar space and the skin that encloses it Picture Quote #1

We don’t know how to identify intelligence over interstellar distances, so what we do instead is use technology for a proxy Picture Quote #1

There are many unidentified bands in the spectra of stars. Wide bands are produced by some complex molecules in the interstellar space Picture Quote #1

And if at times you renounce experience and mind’s heavy logic, it seems that the world has rushed along on its orbit, leaving you alone flying above a forgotten cloud bank, somewhere in the solitude of interstellar space Picture Quote #1

The energy requirements for interstellar travel are so great that it is inconceivable to me that any creatures piloting their ships across the vast depths of space would do so only in order to play games with us over a period of decades. If they want to make contact, they would make contact; if not, they would save their energy and go elsewhere Picture Quote #1

$The factor most ignored in discussing interstellar flight is the kinetic energy that must be invested in the ship to make its tons of matter move at a substantial fraction of the speed of light Picture Quote #1$

If interstellar travel is as time - or energy - demanding as the above figures indicate, it is far from obvious what the motive for colonization might be Picture Quote #1

Any beings advanced enough to traverse interstellar distances are at least a thousand years beyond our technical level. Spending gobs of time examining our missiles is equivalent to sending the Air Force back to the Middle Ages and insisting they examine the chain mail factories Picture Quote #1

Don’t waste your time on beaming people up or down. Instead, consider gravity waves as advanced physics of the universe that could be used to travel interstellar distances Picture Quote #1

Space doesn’t offer an escape from Earth’s problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design Picture Quote #1

What kind of hard SF do I write? Everything from near-future, Earth-centric techno-thrillers to far-future, far-flung interstellar epics Picture Quote #1

Human uploads have such a natural advantage over present-day people in the environment of space, it’s exceedingly unlikely flesh-and-blood beings will ever engage in interstellar travel Picture Quote #1
