There appears to be a basic social problem. These people are going to go stir-crazy in this limited space for 40 years, and will end up killing each other. Likely in some ritualised-duelling kind of a way, or something like that, but still killing each other. They don't have the space to raise families, and when they arrive, the survivors will no longer be young and dynamic, but middle-aged by TL10 standards.
