Re: Proportions 2.3 nearing completion
"Population would weigh, at most, 200kT per million; that assumes 200 pounds per person, plus 100 pounds of luggage, plus a seat to sit in and some breathing room (which shouldn't be any more than 100 pounds)."
That's also assuming *no room to move*, which either means the colonists are freeze dried or have a rather high tolerence for being packed in like sardines.
Consider also life support; the ship's LS would be to say the least overstressed by having a million people on board for months!
