    Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their lives will preserve it.

    Seek the Kingdom of God, not Alpha Centauri and shell receive eternal life!

    There's no such thing as "space light pollution".

    It's not that so much that I wonder about but, even if something is only
    at, say, 5% light speed and bumps into matter out there, even down to
    the atomic level, isn't such matter going to do irreparable damage?

    Yes. We have no technology now, or even much on the horizon, to
    protect a probe traveling that fast. Interstellar dust is a huge
    impediment to any kind of fast interstellar travel.

    That's why flashlights are banned in space?
