Carl Sagan (+3)
"How would an interstellar civilization set out to explore its neighboring star systems? It might establish staging posts, colonies on planets of nearby stars, but this would take time, time to find and modify favorable planets, time to build new spacecraft. Eventually, later generations of explorers would set out, wending their way among the worlds, creating an interstellar nervous system, binding up the stars. Perhaps they would come upon another expanding civilization and encounter beings previously known only from their radio transmissions. Star wars are unlikely. One civilization almost certainly would be far more advanced than the other. It would be no contest."
