better get the genetics correct, then.  Can't tell what genetic 
deviation might occur in a generation born in space.  Might be a 
mutation we are shipping somewhere.  

No, I was referring more to the tortoise-and-hare fable.  I don't
think you are going anywhere.  It will require the output of the 
entire planet to finance it, and you will only be able to do that
with force.  I doubt that will occur on a planet-wide basis.
