The farther we travel, the more life bearing worlds we find.  The difficult thing is actually exploring all of the star systems now within a year’s travel of Earth.  No single government has sent ships to every star in that range.  There are too many stars, and too few ships to do it.  Private surveyors are the only visitors to many stars, selling their data to the mapmakers.  Some stars haven’t even seen that much of us.

I was born to an American cybernetic family.  We specialized in business administration, conforming to laws and exploiting loopholes in them.  Yes, we have a proud history of being that most detested of all forms of life.  Rules lawyers.  Trust me when I say that businesses love us.  And I do believe I can say that my knowledge of local laws in the Alpha Centauri Trinary Star System helped make the Wolfenheim Project a reality.

Even after gaining new territory stretching to the Pacific Ocean, there was far more room to expand into in Northern America.  The Slave economy of The South depended greatly on its warmer climate, and the Missouri Compromise Line placed a political limit on new Northern Slave States.  There would always be more room for Free States than Slave States.  Many thought that heralded the end of Slavery in the long run.  Others forecasted the end of the United States.

Did they play that cartoon about the rat and the cat always fighting each other when you were young?  I remember them like they are yesterday.  I used to really like that rat.  He seemed like a carefree guy that just liked having fun.  Heck, I wanted to be like him.  Yeah, that explains a few things.  After I grew up, I realized the cat was the nice guy and the rat was just the jerk that loved to torment him.  That was a mind-altering revelation right there.

We do actually know of dead alien civilizations.  The Albion, the Ennead, and many others died two thousand years ago.  They were very thorough when it came to ending each other in that old war.  But they were thousands of lightyears away.  The light of the stars that watched them die has not yet reached Earth.  It is amazing to think of how vast the galaxy is.  We have explored such a small percentage of it.
