      Stasis Pods would be too energy costly, and DNA encoded in binary is a gamble, especially given how much data storage you'd need to catalogue enough genetic templates to kick start a species without bottlenecking it, not to mention the issues data corruption could cause. Cryogenically preserved embryos was always going to be the most cost, energy and space efficient way to do it.

      @@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 Not like frozen embryo's are any better. Without a working womb replacement the embryo is useless. Utterly useless. You see the actual development of a human embryo is not actually controlled by the genetics, The end result is, assuming nothing goes wrong, but the process is not. It is controlled by the hormonal and chemical balance in the womb at each stage of development. It is, in short, a form of what is known as Phenotypic Plasticity.
      What that means, is without the knowledge of human reproduction, and especially the specific knowledge of the chemical and hormonal balances in the womb at each stage of foetal development (which we do not even fully know yet), there is precisely nothing that they can do with those embryo's. Absolutely, nothing..... Without the presence of an already developed artificial womb, or the data to allow one to be constructed, the aliens could not bring humanity back even if they wanted to.

      They've *potentially* passed *A* great filter, that depends on whether or not the exploration team can transport enough embryos back with them. If they can't transport enough embryos for that species to not get genetically bottlenecked, then the xenos haven't passed, as by the time they get back, the remaining embryos would be unviable.

      If I had to nitpick, it wasn’t too clear why they were surprised that the terminals were in their language when they could understand the speaker. The specifically seemed surprised that they’d go thru the effort to translate, but later in the story they said not only that they got a message from the Humans, but that they replied. If they knew that the aliens got the message why were they shocked?

    Good Science fiction comments on the writers society. On the hopes and fears of the paths we choose to travel.
    Read early Science fiction and you will find the racist elitism so prevalent AT THAT TIME.
    That was how those writers perceived their world.
    Jump forward to the 40s and 50s and see the results WWII left on the psyche of the writers,.
    In the 1970s writers looked at beliefs and religions, and for the first time in my life, I read about my own times set in the future.
    The 1980s and 90s brought Mad Max type worlds to us, the remnants of humanity struggling to remain human.
    The 2000s saw tales of hope and technology, of exploration and colonization.
    Now we have warnings, prayers almost for the future of mankind, that we turn from our greedy self-destructive ways.
    And war. Always there are wars.
