I mean space is pretty empty yea but I feel like it would be a pain in the ass to prevent a ship travelling at light speed from bumping into small to mid sized space debris. On the other hand, I am imagining with this much drive on energy techs we will be at some point able to come up with a solution to the energy requirement to power such a vessel.

Earth is a massive obstacle to network communication. Move to an o’neill cylinder and never have latency again

Maybe by that point we’ll have actual AI.
