Prof. Lubin Wants to Send Our Digital Selves to the Stars

“We wanted to put on board some part of humanity. We couldn’t shrink ray people down, so Travis and I brainstormed and thought that the next best thing would be to allow people to become digital astronauts. We wanted to pave the way for interstellar missions where we could send the essence of humanity to the stars - "Emissaries of the Earth", if you will. We wanted to pave the way for that.”
