Here's a bit of a doozie.
Say global warming gets going properly and we all of those doomsday scenarios (the gulf stream stops etc). At the same time we get confirmation that the planets that we think are habitable 27 light years away are indeed habitable.
You get chosen to go and are cryogenically frozen for the entire journey.
We boldly go on a 28 year journey only to discover that there is a primitive humanoid civilization already there any they aren't happy to see us.
What happens next?
It's time for the New, New United States?
