The alternative would be not to make earth inhospitable which is a lot easier than terraforming mars.

imo all the 'real work' should be mostly done by computers, but i think the peeps on the ship should have to farm stuff, like, in fields for big chunks of their day just to have something to do.

Excuse me, the fedora establishes the genre as "Space Noir" and thus is a critical element of the show

wtf would peeps on a generation ship even DO aside from living and breathing and loving?

if you let them know wtf is going on the next generation would be pretty pissed off at their parents

but if its like "whoah the universe is 12 miles long, cylindircal" and they are like, farming with cows

aliens would be like 0_0 if they encountered these ships which i think is hilarious

Culture still continues on the ark ships, so it's not like people need a menial task to keep from going crazy tilling the soil. There's a limitless capacity for human creativity.

i have a grand vision too, check it out:

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John (thats me), 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. 7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”So shall it be! Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”wow this is really long. pm me for more

there are a bunch of neat novels and short stories based on life on generation ships, like what happens if one of the middle generations whose only purpose is to reproduce and die thinks that's stupid and fucks the whole thing up? or the trip is so long that people forget what their mission is and knowledge is lost to the degree they think their whole universe is actually just their ship and they wouldn't know what to do on arrival anyway? getting people together for any kind of collective mission is always gonna go bad
