  • Realistically (I know that word means nothing here), if FTL were possible and utilised by a galactic society, it would have to be the type you’re talking about.

    Space is mostly empty, sure, but there is enough shit out there to be a problem if something hit it at light speed.

    Imagine hitting the FTL button, the stars stretch around you, and then you appear at the other end to find a graveyard of spaceships around a dead planet.

    Then the emergency lights start up, and then you realise half of your ship has been hit with the astronomical equivalent of buckshot. Your ship passed through screws and bolts; parts of Elon’s fucking Testla from five thousand years ago.

    Fuck you Elon.
