Cool Worlds | Interstellar Propulsion Technologies - RANKED! @CoolWorldsLab | Uploaded 2 weeks ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Use code coolworlds at incogni.com/coolworlds to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan.
Many of you wanted me to talk about the different interstellar propulsion ideas out there so we figured a fun way to compare them all would be in a tier list! Today we take a look at 14 different methods proposed to explore the stars. Let us know your rankings down below in the comments.
