===== Your idea: throw them out of the Solar System, toward Alpha Centauri, so that: ===== * decades or centuries later * a generational or fast ship leaving the Solar System can: - catch up with some of them - harvest water / hydrogen / structural mass along the way. Reality check: * These blocks will be far apart and moving fast. * Your ship must have enough Δv to intercept them without wasting more fuel than they provide. * So they’re occasional refuel/reshield points, not a dense highway. Still, strategically, this is non-trivial: * You can offload a chunk of the starship’s needed reaction mass into pre-thrown blocks. * That lowers the departure mass and cost for the ship itself.
