Another Planet?

[MWG14]

Would you be adventurous enough to emigrate to another planet if the conditions there were found to be suitable to sustain human life?

[bhg481]

No. The nearest star is over 4 light-years away, which means, even if it had a suitable planet, it would take about 9 years to get a reply from a question on AB. I couldn't wait that long.

[emmie]

no, i just about cope with this one to be honest.

[Buenchico]

Having read many of their posts on AB, I'm of the opinion that quite a few ABers are already living on another planet.

Are we talking a colony on Mars or something further away?

If Mars ever gets colonised I'd love to visit it although moving there forever would be a bit much.

After arriving at Proxima Centauri...

*sending message to best friend* "Hi! Just arrived, weather lovely surprisingly and it's great to be the first one here! How's things mate?"

Nine Years later...

"New phone, sorry. Who's this?"

[wendilla]

Good question .I think Buenchico deserves best answer .if I emigrated to one would I be tracking the earth instead of the Spacestation .

Your answers are interesting, thank you.

I certainly would not want to live anywhere dodgy.

no, it wouldn't be the same without sitting in all day waiting for amazon to deliver

If I could take my dog, yes!!

In a heartbeat especially after seeing Matt Damon in “The Martian”

What an adventure it would be to be a pioneer and venture into the unknown to colonise a planet...,.if the rocket didn’t explode in our atmosphere,we weren’t hit by an asteroid or 1 of a million other things that could go wrong went wrong, lol


I wish I put my name down for the one way trip to mars

Jahulaye The martian is a brilliant film!! i was skeptical because I didn't like Matt Damon, but he was so great! Brilliant concept too.

[Jahulaye]

Agreed anthro, great acting and a storyline that really sucked me in. A lot better than that Tom Cruise space film

[anthro-nerd]

Oh god that was horrific.

I quite enjoyed Passengers though.

What - you mean a planet with a 'dodge city' where you have to be constantly on guard from a bullet in the back ?

[Old_Geezer]

There's no suitable planet sufficiently nearby that I'd reach it before I shuffled off this mortal coil. So N/A.
