New Oh, I don't doubt it.
However, it's not the answer, because we simply can't put enough people in space to make the difference.

New What, ever?
If man was meant to fly, etc.

But as I pointed out before - genetic viability in a small population is not a problem - as eggs and sperm don't take up much room.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Eggs & Sperm = Homo Sapiens...

Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but something perhaps to think about.

New Oh, I agree...
I was thinking of one Mom producing multiple, genetically diverse children as a way of reducing the number of living bodies that must be sent to produce a viable colony...
