The worst thing about interstellar travel: no internet
Two possible solutions:
I once tried to set up a LAN game of Halo, and let me tell you I'm resigned to staying on earth.
Earth is a massive obstacle to network communication. Move to an o’neill cylinder and never have latency again
Are you suggesting I lead humanity into a golden interstellar post-scarcity future so that I can play halo without lag?
It is your solemn duty!
The goal of interstellar travel must be to reduce the ping to 0
The best way to play Halo without lag is to make contact with the Covenant. So yeah, to space!
Maybe by that point we'll have actual AI.
Buddy can you imagine all the new alien pron in the new system though?
