Then you’re kids would have to have sex with each other.

[ytrebil]

Be careful what you wish for. 10,000 nagging pregnant women would be hell to deal with.

It worked before.

With my luck it would be me and a “trans woman”.

[PCPOET7]

just one is needed to survive ME!!!... ideally there would be about 1,000 women to care for my needs and a hand full of guys so I would not over dose on all that estrogen.

>>” I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.”

Wouldn’t work today.

They would announce the future is female and say that they don’t want to be held back by raising a child.

Related (a little), SpaceX successfully landed Starship SN 15 yesterday, so Elon is making progress toward his goal(s)...

The real issue is food and water supplies. Security from others might need numbers, however it just gets back to the food supply for any given number.

There was murder even among Cain and Abel

[CodeToad]

Sure, but who is going to kill the spiders?

I never heard that song before! Thanks for linking it.

Lyrics "Thirteen Women"

Great lyrics (and a wee bit suggestive, too!)

I had two gals every morning
Seeing that I was well fed
And believe you me
One sweetened my tea
While another one buttered my bread

Two gals gave me my money
Two gals made me my clothes
And another sweet thing
Bought me a diamond ring
About forty carets, I suppose

[Verginius Rufus]

So a spacecraft travels more than 6000 years to get to Proxima Centauri. Then what? They find that there’s nothing interesting there and come back? When their descendants reach earth no one has any knowledge of the project and nobody can understand English as it had been spoken 12,000 years earlier? At least maybe they can stay in touch with the people back on earth via Facebook.

Two very healthy ones.

"Myself and many many women supermodels."

and the viagra....don't forget the viagra so you can actually participate.....

[familyop]

"Actually, all you would need is 100 women, some frozen sperm, and a turkey baster.

Sorry guys."

Similar to the current trend of two generations of women hooking up with ugly, bad boys? So the next generation would be short, fat and criminal, with pudgy facial features, pit bull mixes for pets, mental illnesses, lots of tattoos and unhealthy habits.

There were eight on the ark.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Now how will they pick the 500?

They are reviewing Facebook posts right now to weed out the undesirables. :)

Someone’s got to kill the spiders.
