  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

Bah, Stargates are just propaganda from the rocket first civs.

There is no need to send a gate in advance, just use your favorite teleportation mechanic.

I’d say they stand a whelks chance in a supernova of that succeeding.

Actually I'm a marine astrobiologist and that chance is really really high

Just frisbee those things in random directions until one works.
