So, I’m almost finished with season 1, and one question is pressing on me.

The inhabitants of Krypton knew their planet was dying. So they stored their consciousnesses in a device and sent Tal-Rho with the mission to restore their consciousnesses in human hosts after he arrives on Earth.

So, my question is: why didn’t they just go to Earth themselves, instead of using this roundabout method? I mean, they were a technologically advanced society, which certainly had the means to send those persons there, just as they had Tal-Rho. So why not just go themselves?
