lain (lain@lain.com)'s status on Friday, 22-Jan-2021 03:24:30 JST lain @pony @cpsdqs that's already how space travel works IRL. The travel time (from the frame of the traveller) can be arbitrarily short, no matter the distance. - バツ子(痛いの痛いの飛んでけ;; likes this.

blep (cpsdqs@icosahedron.website)'s status on Friday, 22-Jan-2021 03:24:33 JST blep @pony lol i guess so
i’m just kinda interested in nonsense world building that sidesteps the problem instead of yet another blue space tube

blep (cpsdqs@icosahedron.website)'s status on Friday, 22-Jan-2021 03:24:35 JST blep @pony well you can try different things maybe
the only one i remember that’s different is the infinite improbability drive which is just “spaceship does quantum nonsense and is suddenly somewhere else”
