They need to hire an Anthropologist or two, because that number (98) is way too low.

Send whatever number of conservatives so as not to contaminate the new pioneers.

Well, they put animals on the endangered species list when they have only 10,000 still kicking.

Best bet would be to send a planetoid populated by four exogamous clans.

I used a stochastic Monte Carlo code to play roulette.
Lost everything.

They’d never make any progress.

6300 years?? Humans would have been there and back long before the descendants would arrive. Likely they would be intercepted and offered a choice of destinations.

you should have used a Ford instead of a Chevy.......

The speed of light is too slow for interstellar travel, and the amount of energy required is infinite.........

Maybe.
We all like to dream about super-fast interstellar travel, but barring a miracle, the speed they’re talking about is probably not likely to be improved upon very much.
On the other hand, 6,300 years is plenty of time in which civilization on Earth could collapse completely. In which case space exploration will come to a screeching halt while our intrepid colonists (and there descendants) are in transit.

My old Monte Carlo was very stochastic on cold mornings.
