gollark: "Fortunately" such high-energy drives would also be very visible when running, so we'd have plenty of time to prepare and be unable to do anything.
gollark: And if they wanted to kill off humans it would be trivial, as anything capable of accelerating a fairly large ship to significant fractions of lightspeed can do the same to a kinetic impactor of some sort.
gollark: Interstellar travel is, as far as anyone can tell, ridiculously expensive. So it would not be worth going several light-years (probably more) just to attain Earth's, I don't know, rare earth metal stocks, when you can just mine asteroid belts or do starlifting.
gollark: I imagine you could probably harvest them from twitter automatically quite easily.
gollark: No.
