People will migrate to the inner solar system. Then the outer. Then Kuiper. Then Oort which is mixed with adjacent star clouds.

The Fermi paradox assumes this as well. Starships? We don’t need no stinkin’ starships.

We will best find out what’s out there just by going. It doesn’t have to take too long.

Correct. I have two nephews who learned of Pluto’s existence after the IAU demoted it, and they both know it is a planet, so the IAU is fighting a losing battle.

We already have a Planet Nine, it’s called Pluto…..
