Do you think those willing to make this sacrifice to build this civilization will have great power in that society, or will power be taken by someone who shows up once it’s already built?

The idea of being a space pioneer and having that sacrifice propel my family for generations to come sounds great, but if that new civilization is comparable to our current one I don’t know the sacrifice would ultimately be worth it.

Good question. What about some cult going to a different planet to start their own society in the same way Puritans and Pilgrims left England for New World? I was thinking a Luddite type cult that wants to just go back to the basics and be like tree hugging Avatar movie blue aliens. Does this sound more appealing?
