True but at least there's the dim light of a nearby sun.
Kind of like that moment before land disappears over the horizon at sea and you realise you're just surrounded by nothing.
Except it's a whole lot more nothing.

That's a good point alright, though I would like to think if we did get to that stage we'd have advanced past current gen chemical rockets but would presumably also involve multiple gravity assists to send it on its way.
>And probably has to be built at L4/L5 (or similar).
The bulk of the easily attainable resources would be out in the asteroid belt so would that not be an ideal place to build?

It took 35 years for Voyager 1 to escape the solar system so passengers on a generation ship would indeed get to leave the system that birthed them but after that they'd only see void for the rest of their lives which is entirely a bleak thought.
