Abstract
• The Sun is a young star. There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are billions of years older; • Some of these stars likely have Earth-like planets which, if the Earth is typical, may develop intelligent life; • Presumably some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel, as Earth seems likely to do; • At any practical pace of interstellar travel, the galaxy can be completely colonized in just a few tens of millions of years.
