    Swarms of von Neumann probes traveling at 0.1c would cover the galaxy in a very short timeframe…in galactic terms.

    It also makes zero sense to test craft in a navy training range.

      What would the point of that be? Just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’ll be done.

      And do probes flying around in navy training ranges make sense? If they wanted to be visible they would be. If they wanted to hide there wouldn’t be footage of them.
