“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”
Best post of this….mmmmmm….weird….thread.
Alpha Centauri is a system of 3 stars.
If you could be more specific as to which one of the stars has the plans, perhaps someone could undertake a trip to it and read the plans. But, since one can’t land on any star, there must be an Earth-like planet within that start system, and perhaps then people can take traveling to it more seriously.
