If we were completely honest, our first interstellar exploration ships would be named the UES We're Coming to Blow You Up and the UES We're Coming to Take Your Stuff.
Please. That's absurd.

Obviously they'd use the names "UES Endbringer" and "UES Exploiter". Same meaning, but they roll off the tongue a lot better.

No, those would be the second ships we sent.

The first would be just a survey to see whether there was anything ripe for subjugation and exploitation with a relatively innocuous name like "UES Magellan."

Trust no one. Anyone you know could be a Balloon in disguise. Your friends, your family, even your SO.
Maybe even yourself: your phone, busy sending all your details to Beijing, or the microchips in your body injected with the covid vaccine.

Three in a row in less than a week accidentally blowing 7,000 miles in the same direction! Amazing coincidence!

That's why I google "Winnie the Pooh" an average of once a day, just to annoy Chairman Xi.

Someday that joke will stop being funny, but that day is not today.
