Ouch.
This recently suggested an idea to me.
What if beings in general, like us, are so desperate to achieve
FTL... that what almost always happens is that they end up blowing
up their home planet in their first attempt to launch an FTL
spaceship?
It might be that FTL is a bit trickier than we will realize when
the time comes.

I like the Perry Rhodan, Red Thunder, and several other books solution.
There is no such thing as FTL.  However, there is a means of translating yourself from one sets of universe coordinates to another set of universe coordinates instantaneously.
