It's not very time-efficient, though. You also have to give them a way to steer away from stars, uninhabitable worlds*, asteroids, black holes, & space daddy longlegs.

*=They will have to know this ahead of time. Once they touch down, it is unlikely they will have enough fuel to achieve escape velocity. Unless they're big fucking robots.

Are these space daddylonglegs?



Because, yeah. An infestation of these could totally screw with the whole "colonizing the universe" thing. Those poor robots would be too busy cleaning space-cobwebs!

Daddy longlegs don't make webs. They are not spiders.

Well to be fair, there are Harvestmen, and there are also Cellar Spiders, which do spin webs.  Both of them are called 'Daddy-Long-Legs'.
Jesus had two dads and he turned out okay.
