And what would you use to beam FTL?

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-cloning_theorem



The information would travel at the speed of light, sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't think FTL travel is possible, but more to my point it isn't desirable since it would use so much energy. Even traveling at 0.9 c would probably be cost prohibitive. This is why I think space travel will be the realm of information streams, not matter.

The reconstructed lifeform would not be a clone. It would probably be housed within a body adapted for its environment. I'm not imagining somehow copying a human at the quantum level.
