Kelly,




Assuming the drives are related.


[L. Parker]  I wouldn't assume any such thing, probably the opposite...


Never trust, verify the data and plan for the worst.


[L. Parker]  That is the point of multiple approaces to verifying the data 
BEFORE sending people.

 
>They are made e.g. for reasons of survival...

Irrelavent in this case since they would be dependant on Sol for survival.
 Actually coplonies are never made for survival of the species type reasons

[L. Parker]  No, they are made for reasons of politics, of prestige and of 
oppression.


Sorry, would be colonists are nuked from orbit as part of the decontamination
proceedure.  ;)
