Re: Ender's Game

One thing I don't get about Ender's Game is the invasion fleet. The fleet must carry enough fuel to travel at about .9 C for decades; carry enough supplies to sustain thousands, if not millions, of soldiers; and the weapons required to eradicate the Formics. This simply isn't possible, especially if traveling from Battle School to Earth costs more than what Ender's father makes in a lifetime. This would make space travel in Ender's Game more costly than present day. Orson Scott Card should've got a better editor.
