it'd still be cool as fuck, i wouldn't even be mad
Yeah, what's the new civilization's tech like? Bound to be more advancements than just travel speed. Do they have sufficiently fast FTL communication with Earth to keep up with the tech advancements?
“Hard” Sci-Fi stories making a big deal about faster than light not being possible but then treating pods that magically freeze and revive a human body for years as such a triviality that we invented them by 2004 or something in the timeline.
Instant celebrity
Riffing on the meme
You make it to earth and you forgot the historical reason why you avoid earth. It is a prison planet
I love how Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga (2004) opens up with this. But also funny how the inventors of the tech were such douchebags that they casually used it to just be there when the first mission to Mars landed. But hey, at least they didn't have to do the return trip.
The first crew would face the most difficult challenges. Imagine the relief after expecting to establish the fundamentals of civilization, and instead are just assigned your living quarters.
I would definitely prefer to be a leader of new world than just be sent to my room.
I guess. I’m more of a space socialist, myself. Silly me always assumed that equality and collaboration would be a precursor to colonization of other worlds. Musk is trying so hard to prove me wrong. Lol
What if you set out with the idea of starting socialist utopia on a new planet and get there to find booming corporate dystopia?
Put me back to sleep and wake me for the revolution.

Curious that the star is called Barnard because that’s the name of the doctor that first performed a successful heart transplant.

Call that one a win.
Take risk of signing up for a 3000 year hyper-sleep trip.
Reap the rewards of being a pioneer without having to do any of the hard work.
join intergalactic ship pilgrimage hoping to be a pioneer to a new world
Land to late stage capitalism and the same oppression you were just trying to escape.
Id shoot myself immediately.

Jerks didn't come pick me up on way there? Wtf dudes.
Just be glad they managed to fly around your ship and not through it. Navigating at those speeds is hard, matching speed with an older ship, connecting to it and transfering all the people over is probably also difficult.
Not to mention those in the older ship are probably brought into hypersleep in a different way then more modern ships, so they might not actually be equipped to handle the people from the older ship.
That’s on you bruh. You shouldn’t have placed that bumper sticker that said, “if this spacecrafts a rockin, don’t come a knockin”.

Not only that, but 3000 years into the future, language has changed so much that the plural of SHEEP is now SHOOP
That's right, androids do dream of electric SHOOP
Shit's wild yo

Well at least you didn’t have to spend the rest of your life building civilisation from scratch.

Couldn't be bothered to pick him up on the way.
3 Body Problem has an interesting take on this. Faster than light travel is not possible but communication is, meaning we’re anxiously preparing for an alien war that won’t happen for 400 years but they can see everything we do in real time thanks to quantum entanglement.

I read an interesting book based on this premise called The Forever War, it’s been awhile but it was pretty good!
Similar premise but with soldiers sent to fight a war and eventually finding it already over.
I remember one where a sect of humanity was being persecuted, and left to try to find a better life in the stars. They failed to find a life, gave up and returned home, but their interstellar trip consumed so many Earth years that by the time they returned, Earth had moved on from persecution and eagerly welcomed their historical memories.
Sadly, I forget the name; it may have been a short story.

Technically you just slept through the whole thing
The Fry Maneuver
That's another solution to the Fermi paradox. FTL travel is impossible, but can't actually be proven to be impossible, so no one wants to be the sucker.

How is that not great for me? Setting up a colony must be hard work and all around pretty horrible.

Cryosleep in earth would be pretty baller. Imagine all the people who'd sign up to just skip ahead 50 years.

At least you aren’t a soldier ready to restart a war that’s been settled
I mean if they get there ang there are like ruins and remnants, that's going to be a good sci-fi horror-detective-thriller story
