I'd use your rocket ship in another way.

Have you ever read 'The Marching Morons' by C.M. Kornbluth? It's a short story in which people are thrilled to be getting free rocket ship rides to Venus, a new Eden, so they can leave an overcrowded Earth behind and have new, better lives. Now, it turns out that the trip as described is total crap and actually means instant death, but none of them question what they're hearing. They line up by the millions for their free rides.

Kornbluth made just two mistakes that I can see, both in the description of his unsustainable Earth. First, it had just 5 billion people. We're well beyond that now. Second, his morons had an average I.Q. of 45. Today's liberals are considerably lower.
