When Mark Vand was rendered comatose by a vehicle accident DARPA offers his mom an alternative to pulling the plug. They will download his mind and upload it into a new body when the technology to do so is made available.
Deep space satellites have revealed the presence of intelligent life on a planet roughly 250 light years from earth. They will send the subjects to this planet and create them bodies of the planets inhabitants. They just have to act as ambassadors of Earth to these foreign life forms. What could possibly go wrong.
Chapters (1)
After my previous fanfic went nowhere fast I nearly gave up on writing in general, but to day I sat down and wrote this chapter. Please share your thoughts and suggestions.

DARPA.... Where have I heard that before?
Reread BEFORE publishing. It has a lot of mistakes. Other then that it seems interesting.
1612680 Its the defense departments research branch. They have been credited with inventing the internet, laser cutting, GPS, and many other items that effect our everyday life
A brilliant idea, but there are some grammar issues and the pacing seems way too fast at times.
Still, I'd love to see where this goes in the future, this is definitely one of the most promising stories I've read in a while.
Sounds promising. I'll keep an eye on this fic.
Protip: go through and comb out spelling errors/misused words/phrases.
Seems promising despite a few errors. I'll track this for sure.

Love this story so far, hope you keep up the good work.1612721
need moall plez
Sooo.....basically this is Avatar.

I'm okay with that, Avatar was awesome.
The premise of this story is quite odd. You do realise that it would take that data 250 years minimum to reach Equestria, and I'm mildly sure we do not presently have the technology to send data at the speed of light, and that, since I am commenting before reading the story (sadly), I am pretty sure Equestria would not have the technology to receive that data, even if it were to arrive perfectly intact within a reasonable amount of time.

To each his own. I hated that movie.
2487612
That seems to be the general consensus. I also liked Spider-Man 3, and the Star Wars Prequels.
2487784
Well, the whole concept of the movie is just stupid. Plus because of that guy the Avatar cartoon couldn't use that word anymore, which is also pretty stupid. How could someone copy write a word that already existed in a region's mythos. That would be like is Hasbro suddenly decides to copy write unicorn, and pegasus.
I really don't get why the prequels get so much hate. They were good movies.
2487905
The cartoon can use the name all they want. You can't copyright a word. It's just that they came out so close to each other that It would have caused confusion. Besides, "The Last Airbender" was an abomination.
I agree that the concept of "Avatar" was dumb. "Oh, let's spend quintillons of dollars to make people more comfortable, even though we aren't above just simply killing them all." But that doesn't make the overall movie a bad one.
2488044
If that was true, then The Legend of Korra would have benn Avatar: The Legend of Korra, and not The Last Airbender.
Yeah, M.knight screwed up there.
Let us not forget the "humans are evil" trope that is in the movie, the main character becoming the alien species, and then betraying his people, the somewhat unimaginativeness of said alien species, the over ratedness, and other things.
So then... is this on hiatus, or something like that? How come you haven't done anything with this since November?

Quantum Physicists believe they are close to unlocking the secrets of instant data transmission and storage over any distance.
I'm too fuzzy-headed from just waking up to remember the name of the effect at the moment but they have changed the electron spin on two atoms from "spin up" to "spin down". Do this on demand and you have Binary Code, as in Data.
Were science goes from there is anyones guess...
I would jsut check through your work to get rid of some spelling mistakes, such as:

Quantum entanglement... The spin of photons emitted from a common coherent source are the same. And if you change the spin of one, the other follows suit, instantly, and anywhere.
3113881 Yes, the exploits of the field of quantum mechanics into the manipulation of electrons is a very fascinating subject, and one of the things I am going to focus most heavily on when I enter said field. Electrons hold properties that are scarcely, if ever, seen in other particles.
I was going to write out a paragraph explaining the impossibilities of the data transfer and building of bodies for said data, but then I noticed the "deep space satellites" thing and... you know what, I'm feeling very tired right now, so just think about the time it would take to get satellites into "deep space" and the time it takes light to travel and you should figure something out.
Edit: And if the satellites aren't using light, then the same applies to radio waves and the like. All signals take time to reach their receiver. As of now, anyway.
3122083 Note that this applies to interaction between- not specifically being emitted from something -particles such as protons, electrons, and molecules the size of buckyballs.
3144885 scientists have already designed faster than light travel capable of running on feasible power sources by today's standards. It is not a hard stretch to think that 500 years would bring about the "impossible" travel speeds I put in the story

No, AFAIK they haven't. Light speed still reigns supreme, and nothing can exceed it. Space-bending drives are pure fiction. You can remotely affect quantum properties via entanglement, but no useful information (such as matter state) can be transferred or copied this way.

see that is how a scifi meets magic story comes to be. cant wait to see more of it.
its dead
3191453 Key word is "yet." Ideally, you should only believe in proven science. In reality, it is the ideas of the impossible found in science fiction which, among other things, can influence actual scientists to push the boundaries of human knowledge.
And, of course, if we had a dime for every invention previously thought impossible, the world would collapse under irrecoverable inflation.
Yeah.i can see why it was canceled.that M2F threw my intrest out the window
