We've been purely Netflix since before they had streaming. I've never been upset on missing out on "Jersey Shore" and the like. I can't imagine wasting money on a television subscription now. Netflix is great for my 2 year old, who loves Backyardigans, Arthur, Busytown, Blues Clues, Barney, Go Diego Go, as well as any number of movies. Watching any episode he feels like watching of any show any time without those brain-washing commercials is great. Plus, we have total control of his media consumption, and can limit or provide as we see appropriate. The only thing missing is that the breadth of shows, while already larger than what I imagine you'd have available from a television network, doesn't include eccentricities such as Bill Nye, Magic School Bus or Imagination Movers. Of course, that's what Netflix DVDs are for...

That's not nearly enough generations. It'd be more like 6,000 greats. How are you going to bring enough food for all those people? How are you going to provide capacity for sufficient genetic diversity to prevent them from becoming as inbred as the royal family?

I say we don't send anything to another solar system until we have a high level of confidence that ships leaving after it won't get there first.
