That some day, when space travel becomes available and
inexpensive enough or at least more widely prominent in
the Sol system, that there will be groups who will hollow
out their own planetoid or comet, drop in some throw
pillows and a fresh coat of paint, attach an engine, and
aim themselves at a star.
Will all of them make it? Perhaps they will prefer to stay in
their little interstellar arks. In any case, there will be those
who will want to lead their own lives in their own society and
Earth and the Sol system will not be room enough. They will
even risk death and societal degredation to forge a new live
elsewhere, so forget all these arguments about logic and
reason.
And if enough go out, a few will make it eventually.
