I could not sleep last night and while laying awake I thought up the following idea for seeding the stars with the human race.
First you build an atomic powered space ship that need no fuel. Possibly powered by an ion drive. Then you create an army of artificially intelligent worker robots to run it.
The key to the idea is quite simple. You have no living humans on the ship. So you need no oxygen, food or water. The human cargo is stored as eggs and sperm in frozen tanks. You would also freeze the eggs of farmyard animals and send crop seeds.
When the ship found an inhabitable planet the robots would land and create farms bringing the frozen animal eggs to life. Lastly they would bring human baby's to life and raise them and teach them.
The mother ships computer would contain all human knowledge in its data banks. The stores would contain lots of practical things like saucepans and tools, as there would be no metal industry until the colony grew up and created it.
I think this idea is viable and can almost be done with existing technology.
Tell me why it can't.
