If the technology to build a "sleeper ship", ala the S. S. Botany Bay we saw in the Trek ep Space Seed were available, would you leave Earth, to help found a colony elsewhere? Mars, or perhaps, even beyond our solar system? What sort of reasons might induce you to join such an expedition, despite the obvious risks? _________________ "The dull mind rises to Truth through that which is material." -Suger

Makes sense. Kind of like the Pilgrims, or the other New World colonies. Daring and curiousity. _________________ "The dull mind rises to Truth through that which is material." -Suger

It has to be warm and less rain than here though. Plus it preferably needs to be a step forward, like better job or better house. If the surroundings are fabulous that counts as a step forward too. I personally wouldn;t mind living in some dome or community either, but I think the wife goes crazy.  _________________ GALACTICA.TV | My Battlestar Galactica | Terry Carter - official site | Anne Lockhart - official site |

Depends how you look at it. The wife and I backpacked the globe for a year. We only visited warm countries for an entire year by choice since we hated the rain out here. But that doesn't mean it's eazy piezy.Try backpacking two months in poorest part of India and then we talk again.
At this point I'd also look forward to a year of sleep in one of those sleeper chambers to get to Mars for instance.
I'd also do a "back to nature": build your own cabin, grow your own food, hunt... stuff like that. I HATE camping, but only because I I hate to spend the short time I have on my vacation on the ground in a tent. If it's a choice of life and I'd never have to work again, I'd do it. _________________ GALACTICA.TV | My Battlestar Galactica | Terry Carter - official site | Anne Lockhart - official site |

Great. So, you're going to Mars first?  _________________ "The dull mind rises to Truth through that which is material." -Suger

My dream trip would be like they were proposing to do in "Defying Gravity" (if you haven't seen the series, do check it out; it's another awesome 1 season series). In other words: a trip to all the planets in our solar system. I'd go to Mars first, since it's closest, but I wouldn't settle there for ever, but rather stay in the colony there for a few months/a year and then move on to the next planet, until I did them all. Sort of backpacking the solar system. _________________ GALACTICA.TV | My Battlestar Galactica | Terry Carter - official site | Anne Lockhart - official site |

Maybe it will help you walk (float) through the cloud tops of Jupiter!

Given that the poll is nearly a year old, I would have no way of knowing.
