It’s bad enough . . . when a country gets colonized, but when the people do as well! That’s the end, really, that’s the end.

Colonialism. The enforced spread of the rule of reason. But who is going to spread it among the colonizers?

Welcome to the truth of our world-a massive seed shot out to the stars, filled with deadly children. A seed designed to slay everything it touches.

What about this? A colony of nothing but Battle School grads. If they bred true, they'd be the smartest military minds in the galaxy.
Then they'd come home and take over Earth.
OK, not that.

The journey of a thousands suns begins today.
Some may question whether the journey is worth the sacrifice and danger.
To them I say that no sacrifice is too dear and no danger too great to ensure the very survival of our human species.
What will we find when we arrive at our new homes? That's an open question. For a century, deep-space probes have reported alien lifeforms, but thus far none of which we recognize as intelligent beings. Are we the only biological intelligence in the universe? Perhaps our definition of intelligence is too narrow, too specio-centric.
For, are not trees intelligent, who know to shed their leaves at the end of summer? Are not turtles intelligent, who know when to bury themselves in mud under ice? Is not all life intelligent, that knows how to pass its vital essence to new generations?
Because half of intelligence resides in the body, be it plant or animal.
I now commend these brave colonists to the galaxy, to join their minds and bodies to the community of living beings they will encounter there, and to establish our rightful place among the stars.
