You're Doing It Wrong

Look,
All of your measures,
And all of this effort,
Are futile!

You’re not going to get anywhere like that,
Trust us,
We’ve years and years of experience…
—Millions of years;

That first message was read in disbelief,
By those gathered round,
—The world’s assembled intelligentsia;

All of your ideas…
Are in the same vain—
Liquid-fuel rocket propulsion,
Ion rocket propulsion,
Solar sail,
Nuclear ramjet,
Nuclear pulse propulsion,
Quantum vacuum thruster,

—They’re all just different ways,
Of trying to go around space,
Which is such a barbaric and brute-force approach!

The trick,
You see,
Is to go through space;

Wormholing is the only way to do it!
