I loved the story and I'm glad that you went so far as providing a next generation so that Martha could hold their baby.
This was wonderfully imaginative and there was plenty of different things for everyone to enjoy.
Speaking just for myself, I have no problem with FTL travel. I can explain the relativistic equations that prevent acceleration of objects with a non-zero rest mass to the speed of light as well as anyone, but if you can find a way around the relativistic C barrier, then you have circumvented the area of known physics and are into the realm of speculative theoretical physics. Just because we don’t have any idea how to avoid the relativity problems doesn’t mean that the answer isn’t out there somewhere.
So—and hopefully I haven’t embarrassed those who educated me—I don’t have that much problem with the trips to and from New Krypton. At least as long as you aren’t trying to simply push faster using stronger rockets.
Again, it was a wonderful and WAFFY story.
Thank you so much.
Bob
