- [comment]: Temperature in a near vacuum is a measure of the average speed of the molecules. But it won’t make you hot because heat is transferred when the molecules impact you, and there are so very few molecules out there.
- [comment]: “we ain’t goin’ nowhere.”
I’m not, but it is doable. Build a structure 15 pounds per square inch of anything for shielding, pressurize the inside, provide heating and cooling and food and send it toward another star at any relative speed and it will get there eventually. Many an asteroid could provide the mass required. Comets and moons could also supply materials.
One percent of the speed of light sends you one light-year per century. Need enough room to allow generations to live through it. Could cure old age and send just some very patient people, like Heinlein’s Methuselah’s Children.
Can also freeze people once you figure out how to thaw them alive and just send corpse-cicles to the stars. Still need radiation protection along the way.
Send materials for artificial wombs and grow people when you get there. If could record personalities, might reconstitute people afterward but I doubt it.

French archaeologist, J. Monard, has speculated that the druids created the calendar as a means of preserving the druid tradition of timekeeping at a time when the Julian calendar was being heavily promoted throughout the Roman Empire. Druid were members of the educated, professional class among the Celtic peoples of Gaul, Britain, Ireland, and possibly elsewhere during the Iron Age. The druid class included law-speakers, poets and doctors, among other learned professions, although the best known among the druids were the religious leaders.
A calendar similar to the Coligny calendar was found nearby at Villards d'Heria. Both calendars follow the Contintental Celtic calendar. Through reconstruction, researchers have been able to determine that the calendar is a lunisolar calendar, focusing on the lunar month and the solar year. Scholars have disagreed as to whether a new month began with the new moon, full moon, or the first quarter moon. The lunar year was made up of 354 or 355 days. There is dispute as to whether the calendar began in summer or autumn. The starting month, Samonios, is generally affiliated with Old Irish Samhain on October 31. However, Samon is Gaulish for summer.
Like the modern calendar, the Coligny calendar is comprised of 12 months, with each month containing 29-30 days. [end excerpt]

* "Saints at Pella after AD 70?" (2018 Spring, Fulfilled! magazine, vol. 13, no. 1, pgs. 12, 13, fulfilledcg.com/Site/images/Issues/2018_Spring/vol-13-issue-1.pdf) [is.gd/Lsr0Km] [begin excerpt]:
Some Saints Did Flee to Pella Eusebius (4th century) wrote, “The church in Jerusalem had been commanded by a revelation, vouchsafed to approved men there before the war, to leave the city and to dwell in a certain town of Perea called Pella” (3 Euseb 5:3).
John A. T. Robinson notes that “the only tradition we have as to what Christians actually did, or were told to do, is that preserved by Eusebius apparently on the basis of the Memoirs of Hegesippus used also by Epiphanius” (Redating the New Testament, p. 16).
Most patristic scholars agree that some Christians fled from Judea and went to Pella when they saw the signs which Jesus gave them (Matt 24:15-16 and parallels). And Pella was a safe place to go before the war, since it was a Hellenized city that was not under the Sanhedrin’s control. But there is another factor here which helps us date the first departures from Jerusalem. It is the Neronic persecution, which began two years before the outbreak of the war (AD 64). If the Jewish Christians had stayed in Judea until the war (May AD 66), they would have been either killed in the Neronic persecution or coerced by the Zealots to join the war effort. That is why the warning to flee from Judea had to come “before the war” (as Eusebius says).
First Exodus from Judea in April, 62 AD -
Eutychius of Alexandria (10th century) claims that one “group of disciples,” who were connected with James, fled from Jerusalem after James’ execution, and went to the region of Perea and the Decapolis (the area around Pella):
Qistus [Festus], governor of Jerusalem, died [AD 62] and the city was without any authority or sovereign to govern it. The Jews then arose and rioted and killed James, son of Joseph, known as the “brother of the Lord”, stoning him to death. Then they harassed a group of disciples and expelled them from the city. The Christians abandoned Jerusalem, crossed the Jordan and settled in those places [i.e., in the region of Perea and Decapolis]. [Eutychius of Alexandria (10th century), The Annals of Eutychius of Alexandria, ch. 9 sect. 7.]
We do not know from whom Eutychius received this information. It could have been from Hegesippus or Papias, or some other early source. He indicates that those Judean saints began their exodus from Jerusalem as early as April AD 62, right after the high priest Ananus II killed their leader, James. That group had much in common with the Judaizers, who considered James their bishop. If that group was a Judaizing sect of Jewish Christians, then it would be easy to link them to the Nazareans and Ebionites in Pella.
It seems that Epiphanius (4th century) makes that very connection when he claims that the Nazareans (and Ebionites?) in Pella were directly associated with the group that fled from Jerusalem:
According to Epiphanius, the Nazarenes [and Ebionites?] were the descendants of those Christians who were Jewish and came from Jerusalem (Haer. 29,7; 30,18). [Angelo Di Berardino, “Pella”, Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity, Downers Grove, Illinois: IVP Academic, 2014, vol. 3, p. 131]
What Happened in Pella?
So this places some Judean Christians “in the region of Perea and Decapolis” (near Pella) as early as AD 62. That was two years before the Neronic persecution (AD 64) and four years before the Zealot rebellion (AD 66). What happened to these Christians after they fled to this region?
Soon after the Zealot rebellion began in May AD 66, the Greek and Syrian residents of the Decapolis cities (including Pella) evicted and killed many of their Jewish residents (Josephus Wars 2:477-480). The Zealots retaliated soon afterward and killed many of the Greek, Roman, and Syrian residents, as well as any Jews who would not join their war effort (Josephus Wars 2.458 [2.18.1]). The Zealots then put a garrison in Pella and the other cities of Perea.
Later in the war (March to April AD 68), after he subjugated Galilee, Vespasian sent Placidus with cavalry and soldiers to wipe out all of the Zealot fortresses on the entire east bank of the Jordan (Perea), from Gadara and Pella all the way down to the Dead Sea (see Josephus Wars 3:46 and 4:413 for the boundaries of Perea, as well as Wars 4:419-438 for the story about this campaign of Placidus in Perea).
So Pella suffered three hits during the war. This is why patristic historians do not think any Christians were still alive in Pella after the war. Pella was not safe for anyone (Jews, Gentiles, or Christians) after the war broke out. It was evidently a safe haven before the war, but it was certainly not a good place to be after the war broke out in AD 66. Thus, it appears that there were no Christians of any kind left in Pella after the war. Nor was there a church left in Jerusalem to which they could return. [end excerpt]

* "The Menhune of Hawaii – Ancient Race or Fictional Fairytale?" (2014-06-11, ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/menhune-hawaii-ancient-race-or-fictional-fairytale-001741) [archive.is/3HEwd] [begin excerpt]:
In Hawaiian mythology, the Menehune are said to be an ancient race of people small in stature, who lived in Hawaii before settlers arrived from Polynesia. Many scholars attribute ancient structures found on the Hawaiian Islands to the Menehune. However, others have argued that the legends of the Menehune are a post-European contact mythology and that no such race existed.
The mythology of the Menehune is as old as the beginnings of Polynesian history. When the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii, they found dams, fish-ponds, roads, and even temples, all said to have been built by the Menehune who were superb craftspeople. Some of these structures still exist, and the highly-skilled craftsmanship is evident. According to legend, each Menehune was a master of a certain craft and had one special function they accomplished with great precision and expertise. They would set out at dusk to build something in one night, and if this was not achieved, it would be abandoned.
Some scholars, such as folklorist Katharine Luomala, theorize that the Menehune were the first settlers of Hawaii, descendants of the Marquesas islanders who were believed to have first occupied the Hawaiian Islands from around 0 to 350 AD. When the Tahitian invasion occurred in about 1100 AD, the first settlers were subdued by the Tahitians, who referred to the inhabitants as ‘manahune’ (which means ‘lowly people’ or ‘low social status’ and not diminutive in stature). They fled to the mountains and later came to be called ‘Menehune’. Proponents of this theory point to an 1820 census which listed 65 people as Menehune.
Luomala claims that the Menehune are not mentioned in pre-contact mythology and therefore the name does not refer to an ancient race of people. However, this argument holds little weight as most accounts of the past were passed down through word-of-mouth from one generation to the next.
If Luomala, and other scholars in her camp, is correct, and there was no ancient race of skilled craftspeople that predated the Polynesians, then there must be an alternative explanation for the ancient constructions of advanced design, which predated any known population in Hawaii. However, no alternative explanations exist and most history books still maintain that the Polynesians were the first inhabitants of Hawaii, some 1,500 years ago. So let’s examine some of the ancient constructions that have been attributed to the Menehune in the mythology of the region.
Alekoko Fishpond Wall at Niumalu, Kauaʻi -
The Alekoko Fishpond, sometimes called the Menhune Fishpond, is one of the finest examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture. A lava rock wall between the pond and the Hulei’a River, which is 900 feet (274 m) long and 5 feet (1.5 m) high, was built to create a dam across a portion of the river in order to trap young fish until they grew large enough to consume. The stones that were used come from Makaweli village, some 25 miles (40 km) away. It is considered to be an unexplained engineering achievement and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Hawaiian legend states that the pond was built in one night by the Menehune, who formed an assembly line from the fishpond location to Makaweli, passing stones one-by-one from start to end point.

The Kīkīaola Ditch at Waimea, Kauaʻi -
Kīkīaola is a historic irrigation ditch located near Waimea on the island of Kauai. Also known as the Menehune Ditch, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1984. Hawaiians built many stone-lined ditches to irrigate ponds for growing taro (kalo), but very rarely employed dressed stone to line ditches. The 120 finely cut basalt blocks that line about 200 feet of the outer wall of the Menehune Ditch make it not just exceptional, but "the acme of stone-faced ditches" in the words of archaeologist Wendell C. Bennett. It is purported to have been built by the Menehune.

First, they reviewed the outward physical evidence. Pedro was found in a sitting position, cross-legged, on a small ledge within what appeared to be a man-made cave. With bulging eyes and a flattened cranium, Pedro was extremely well preserved – so much so that even his fingernails were visible. A gelatinous substance covered Pedro’s head, and it became clear that liquids had been used to preserve the body. His nose was flattened, he had a full set of teeth, and his skin was brown and wrinkled, creating the appearance of an old man.
In the years following the discovery of Pedro, scientists conducted more invasive testing, utilizing x-rays to try to unlock the mystery. Several anthropologists initially concluded that the remains were those of an infant, likely born prematurely, or who died shortly after birth. This, however, is an area of disagreement, as a second body of scientists believe the remains to be those of an adult, possibly 16-65 years in age. It has been said that x-rays revealed sharp teeth, and the presence of food in the stomach that appeared to be raw meat. The x-rays also suggested that Pedro had suffered a violent death, showing broken bones, a damaged spine, and damage to the skull. [...]
With the remains nowhere to be found, the mysteries of Pedro linger to this day. Most scientists agree that Pedro’s remains were those of an adult male human. However, modern testing could have answered so many additional questions like where he came from, whether he suffered any diseases or congenital conditions, what the gelatinous substance was, and how his remains come to be sealed within a thick layer of rock. The answers to these questions, and many others, are likely to remain unanswered unless the remains can be located and further tested. Until then, scientists and enthusiasts can only speculate about who or what he was. [end excerpt]

French archaeologist, J. Monard, has speculated that the druids created the calendar as a means of preserving the druid tradition of timekeeping at a time when the Julian calendar was being heavily promoted throughout the Roman Empire. Druid were members of the educated, professional class among the Celtic peoples of Gaul, Britain, Ireland, and possibly elsewhere during the Iron Age. The druid class included law-speakers, poets and doctors, among other learned professions, although the best known among the druids were the religious leaders.
A calendar similar to the Coligny calendar was found nearby at Villards d'Heria. Both calendars follow the Contintental Celtic calendar. Through reconstruction, researchers have been able to determine that the calendar is a lunisolar calendar, focusing on the lunar month and the solar year. Scholars have disagreed as to whether a new month began with the new moon, full moon, or the first quarter moon. The lunar year was made up of 354 or 355 days. There is dispute as to whether the calendar began in summer or autumn. The starting month, Samonios, is generally affiliated with Old Irish Samhain on October 31. However, Samon is Gaulish for summer.
Like the modern calendar, the Coligny calendar is comprised of 12 months, with each month containing 29-30 days. [end excerpt]

* "Saints at Pella after AD 70?" (2018 Spring, Fulfilled! magazine, vol. 13, no. 1, pgs. 12, 13, fulfilledcg.com/Site/images/Issues/2018_Spring/vol-13-issue-1.pdf) [is.gd/Lsr0Km] [begin excerpt]:
Some Saints Did Flee to Pella Eusebius (4th century) wrote, “The church in Jerusalem had been commanded by a revelation, vouchsafed to approved men there before the war, to leave the city and to dwell in a certain town of Perea called Pella” (3 Euseb 5:3).
John A. T. Robinson notes that “the only tradition we have as to what Christians actually did, or were told to do, is that preserved by Eusebius apparently on the basis of the Memoirs of Hegesippus used also by Epiphanius” (Redating the New Testament, p. 16).
Most patristic scholars agree that some Christians fled from Judea and went to Pella when they saw the signs which Jesus gave them (Matt 24:15-16 and parallels). And Pella was a safe place to go before the war, since it was a Hellenized city that was not under the Sanhedrin’s control. But there is another factor here which helps us date the first departures from Jerusalem. It is the Neronic persecution, which began two years before the outbreak of the war (AD 64). If the Jewish Christians had stayed in Judea until the war (May AD 66), they would have been either killed in the Neronic persecution or coerced by the Zealots to join the war effort. That is why the warning to flee from Judea had to come “before the war” (as Eusebius says).
First Exodus from Judea in April, 62 AD -
Eutychius of Alexandria (10th century) claims that one “group of disciples,” who were connected with James, fled from Jerusalem after James’ execution, and went to the region of Perea and the Decapolis (the area around Pella):
Qistus [Festus], governor of Jerusalem, died [AD 62] and the city was without any authority or sovereign to govern it. The Jews then arose and rioted and killed James, son of Joseph, known as the “brother of the Lord”, stoning him to death. Then they harassed a group of disciples and expelled them from the city. The Christians abandoned Jerusalem, crossed the Jordan and settled in those places [i.e., in the region of Perea and Decapolis]. [Eutychius of Alexandria (10th century), The Annals of Eutychius of Alexandria, ch. 9 sect. 7.]
We do not know from whom Eutychius received this information. It could have been from Hegesippus or Papias, or some other early source. He indicates that those Judean saints began their exodus from Jerusalem as early as April AD 62, right after the high priest Ananus II killed their leader, James. That group had much in common with the Judaizers, who considered James their bishop. If that group was a Judaizing sect of Jewish Christians, then it would be easy to link them to the Nazareans and Ebionites in Pella.
It seems that Epiphanius (4th century) makes that very connection when he claims that the Nazareans (and Ebionites?) in Pella were directly associated with the group that fled from Jerusalem:
According to Epiphanius, the Nazarenes [and Ebionites?] were the descendants of those Christians who were Jewish and came from Jerusalem (Haer. 29,7; 30,18). [Angelo Di Berardino, “Pella”, Encyclopedia of Ancient Christianity, Downers Grove, Illinois: IVP Academic, 2014, vol. 3, p. 131]
What Happened in Pella?
So this places some Judean Christians “in the region of Perea and Decapolis” (near Pella) as early as AD 62. That was two years before the Neronic persecution (AD 64) and four years before the Zealot rebellion (AD 66). What happened to these Christians after they fled to this region?
Soon after the Zealot rebellion began in May AD 66, the Greek and Syrian residents of the Decapolis cities (including Pella) evicted and killed many of their Jewish residents (Josephus Wars 2:477-480). The Zealots retaliated soon afterward and killed many of the Greek, Roman, and Syrian residents, as well as any Jews who would not join their war effort (Josephus Wars 2.458 [2.18.1]). The Zealots then put a garrison in Pella and the other cities of Perea.
Later in the war (March to April AD 68), after he subjugated Galilee, Vespasian sent Placidus with cavalry and soldiers to wipe out all of the Zealot fortresses on the entire east bank of the Jordan (Perea), from Gadara and Pella all the way down to the Dead Sea (see Josephus Wars 3:46 and 4:413 for the boundaries of Perea, as well as Wars 4:419-438 for the story about this campaign of Placidus in Perea).
So Pella suffered three hits during the war. This is why patristic historians do not think any Christians were still alive in Pella after the war. Pella was not safe for anyone (Jews, Gentiles, or Christians) after the war broke out. It was evidently a safe haven before the war, but it was certainly not a good place to be after the war broke out in AD 66. Thus, it appears that there were no Christians of any kind left in Pella after the war. Nor was there a church left in Jerusalem to which they could return. [end excerpt]

* "The Menhune of Hawaii – Ancient Race or Fictional Fairytale?" (2014-06-11, ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/menhune-hawaii-ancient-race-or-fictional-fairytale-001741) [archive.is/3HEwd] [begin excerpt]:
In Hawaiian mythology, the Menehune are said to be an ancient race of people small in stature, who lived in Hawaii before settlers arrived from Polynesia. Many scholars attribute ancient structures found on the Hawaiian Islands to the Menehune. However, others have argued that the legends of the Menehune are a post-European contact mythology and that no such race existed.
The mythology of the Menehune is as old as the beginnings of Polynesian history. When the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii, they found dams, fish-ponds, roads, and even temples, all said to have been built by the Menehune who were superb craftspeople. Some of these structures still exist, and the highly-skilled craftsmanship is evident. According to legend, each Menehune was a master of a certain craft and had one special function they accomplished with great precision and expertise. They would set out at dusk to build something in one night, and if this was not achieved, it would be abandoned.
Some scholars, such as folklorist Katharine Luomala, theorize that the Menehune were the first settlers of Hawaii, descendants of the Marquesas islanders who were believed to have first occupied the Hawaiian Islands from around 0 to 350 AD. When the Tahitian invasion occurred in about 1100 AD, the first settlers were subdued by the Tahitians, who referred to the inhabitants as ‘manahune’ (which means ‘lowly people’ or ‘low social status’ and not diminutive in stature). They fled to the mountains and later came to be called ‘Menehune’. Proponents of this theory point to an 1820 census which listed 65 people as Menehune.
Luomala claims that the Menehune are not mentioned in pre-contact mythology and therefore the name does not refer to an ancient race of people. However, this argument holds little weight as most accounts of the past were passed down through word-of-mouth from one generation to the next.
If Luomala, and other scholars in her camp, is correct, and there was no ancient race of skilled craftspeople that predated the Polynesians, then there must be an alternative explanation for the ancient constructions of advanced design, which predated any known population in Hawaii. However, no alternative explanations exist and most history books still maintain that the Polynesians were the first inhabitants of Hawaii, some 1,500 years ago. So let’s examine some of the ancient constructions that have been attributed to the Menehune in the mythology of the region.
Alekoko Fishpond Wall at Niumalu, Kauaʻi -
The Alekoko Fishpond, sometimes called the Menhune Fishpond, is one of the finest examples of ancient Hawaiian aquaculture. A lava rock wall between the pond and the Hulei’a River, which is 900 feet (274 m) long and 5 feet (1.5 m) high, was built to create a dam across a portion of the river in order to trap young fish until they grew large enough to consume. The stones that were used come from Makaweli village, some 25 miles (40 km) away. It is considered to be an unexplained engineering achievement and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Hawaiian legend states that the pond was built in one night by the Menehune, who formed an assembly line from the fishpond location to Makaweli, passing stones one-by-one from start to end point.

[...]The Kīkīaola Ditch at Waimea, Kauaʻi -
Kīkīaola is a historic irrigation ditch located near Waimea on the island of Kauai. Also known as the Menehune Ditch, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1984. Hawaiians built many stone-lined ditches to irrigate ponds for growing taro (kalo), but very rarely employed dressed stone to line ditches. The 120 finely cut basalt blocks that line about 200 feet of the outer wall of the Menehune Ditch make it not just exceptional, but "the acme of stone-faced ditches" in the words of archaeologist Wendell C. Bennett. It is purported to have been built by the Menehune.

First, they reviewed the outward physical evidence. Pedro was found in a sitting position, cross-legged, on a small ledge within what appeared to be a man-made cave. With bulging eyes and a flattened cranium, Pedro was extremely well preserved – so much so that even his fingernails were visible. A gelatinous substance covered Pedro’s head, and it became clear that liquids had been used to preserve the body. His nose was flattened, he had a full set of teeth, and his skin was brown and wrinkled, creating the appearance of an old man.
In the years following the discovery of Pedro, scientists conducted more invasive testing, utilizing x-rays to try to unlock the mystery. Several anthropologists initially concluded that the remains were those of an infant, likely born prematurely, or who died shortly after birth. This, however, is an area of disagreement, as a second body of scientists believe the remains to be those of an adult, possibly 16-65 years in age. It has been said that x-rays revealed sharp teeth, and the presence of food in the stomach that appeared to be raw meat. The x-rays also suggested that Pedro had suffered a violent death, showing broken bones, a damaged spine, and damage to the skull. [...]
With the remains nowhere to be found, the mysteries of Pedro linger to this day. Most scientists agree that Pedro’s remains were those of an adult male human. However, modern testing could have answered so many additional questions like where he came from, whether he suffered any diseases or congenital conditions, what the gelatinous substance was, and how his remains come to be sealed within a thick layer of rock. The answers to these questions, and many others, are likely to remain unanswered unless the remains can be located and further tested. Until then, scientists and enthusiasts can only speculate about who or what he was. [end excerpt]

Ancient part soil covered cities were photograpjed on Mars in the early 1980s by nasa. The U of AZ was tasked with this project. They tried to hide the evidence, but Hoagland had already downloaded the original photos. His site has been hacked and shut.. but see the photos here.
