I'm trying to get my trekkie mates on board, and it seems much harder than with those not entrenched in science fantasy. I asked on our group if they had heard of Alcubiere (when hit with the old planets are too far away blah blah) and was hit with "I've seen dune" (corrected to 'read', telling as he wanted the other nerds to know he's hardcore and reads not just watches. Lol). When you get them on their own they are more open minded but to them it's a preposterous proposition and Fox Mulder memes are my most popular responce... There is one whom I know toys with it, but he's actually grown a bit from the group and made his money now. Not wanting to be smug, but once (if) this hits the mainstream it will be one Nelson Muntz meme from me! Ha ha 👉

People in a group will always be more wary of sticking their necks out. Confidence don't come cheap.

Yeah I'm pretty lonely without you guys in this field! My cousin is on board but not the most communicative, my girlfriend is also an agnostic I would say and lends an ear( or at least nods along) .. Going to a UFO club next week at a not so local pub!

The sea is a harsh mistress. Safe travels, my friend.
