wasn't sure where to post this but... i was wondering...
assuming we had the technology

if you had the choice to leave earth and live elsewhere(a habitable planet, space station, etc)
would you ? why or why not ?
 
Can I come back? If so yes, why not? New experiences are always good. If not, then it's not worthy, there's likely nothing there anyways.
 
owl, good question


we were wondering that ourselves. i think my original thought though was... what if it was to live there ? assuming there was an environment that could sustain us... whether we've forced sustainability using technology or not-


say this would be your new home ??? would you then leave ? again this is under the assumption there IS something there
 
Well by "nothing there" I meant that there would probably be just rocks, kinda like the footage of the Moon, nothing interesting to see. If people were to build cities in another planet still, I think it would be pretty much like Earth cities so why bother? If I could live there, I don't know, 5 years and then come back, who knows, maybe I would do it, although for something like that I think it would be more interesting to go to Antartica.
 
I wonder if these people who are signing up for a one way trip to Mars realize that will be a suicide mission? Some scientists have already learned what happened to Mars. The magnetic field weakened to the point that it stopped shielding the planet from the "solar wind". That allowed the solar wind to blow away the atmosphere and the water evaporated into space. Without the protective magnetic field the planet is being bombarded with deadly radiation. That may happen to Earth in a few million or billion years.
 
My past life track record would probably work against me, I am afraid. I think I would again find myself going to this "new world", and it would not be by choice.
 
I love the idea of space explorers and I've always loved to travel myself so in theory I like the thought of us leaving this planet and visiting other worlds. I might not do it myself though as I feel comfortable on this planet.
 
I think the best way to go is OBE where you leave this body in a room and then let go....when out of body you can visit other planets and stars. Out of your mundane, illusionary existence time and space does not limit your movements. I do not know how to do this, but as a child I have done this involuntarily, as many others done so, while asleep.

BUT, there are people who do win the lottery, including Powerball. :) If and when "something" tells me I should buy a ticket, I will.
 
I would love to experience anything outside of earth, as long as, I am able to experience this, with someone I love, to make it more worthwhile.
 
I am starting to think that earth is my outside experience, and I would be happy to go home at some point
 
Well, it depends-- if the earth was about to explode or something, I'd take my family and get the hell out of here.


Otherwise I quite like earth and would rather stay. Space seems boring and dull (also, you'd lose bone density and stuff).
