  • One thing you hear sometimes is that they only really contact people once they have FTL because then it becomes impossible to just ignore them.
    Which raises the question, is ignoring people’s plight something you want to do? I guess its a trolley problem. It also sounds kinda imperialistic.
    The zoo hypothesis is even more imperialistic. A civilization should have some rights regardless of whether it has FTL.

    But the core point of not being imposing is noble.


  • Having not seen the episode, do some people get spaced?
    If so, and assuming there isn’t any other shenanigans, you don’t need to worry about the cold. Space tends to be cold, but its also just barely even there. No air means no convection, and that means you’ll only get cold very slowly. Much too slowly for it to matter in this situation.
    Your biggest concerns are going to be preparation (don’t hold your breath!) and getting back to an atmosphere as soon as possible.

    The problem here is its kinda a meme. PIC S3 also did this, with Vadic, though she was a changeling.
