Which Planet Would You Travel To?

Nate · 2007-08-13T21:28:47Z

I've been watching a lot of space specials lately on the Discovery channel, and they're fascinating but frustrating at the same time. Fascinating because of the potential of what humanity can achieve, but frustrating because of the short sightedness of government. Fortunately, the private market is once again stepping in where the government fails, and is making a lot of strides into spaceflight. So lets say that by 2050, it was possible for you to travel to any planet in the inner solar system (with the appropriate travel times of course). Which one would it be?

Which Planet Would You Like To Visit?

Mercury: 10; 4%

Venus: 38; 16%

The Moon: 41; 17%

Mars: 57; 24%

Pat Buchanan Presents Planet L9: 60; 25%

The Sun: 9; 4%

Ceres: 27; 11%

: Total votes : 242

Way to go Captain Obvious. But phrasing the question as such would be terribly verbose.

Hee hee, semantics. The sun is also a planet.

I'd go to: Planet Pat, of course.

The sun is also not a planet... it's a star... hydrogen only.

Plan B is always "Die Trying."

I'ld go to the moon. Always wanted to see the earth up in the sky.

I will always fight back, no matter what.

Kat, get a sense of humor

I think I would actually like to go to the planet Ceres. Would be pretty cool.

(and yes Empress Kat, before you start playing Captain Obvious again, Ceres is a dwarf planet, not a planet)

It's not fair! I voted before the Sun was on there...

I want to go swimming in lots of fire and things! *pouts*

Why would anyone ever want to go to the sun? I mean, it's a good way to get rid particularly bad writers, but...

Mwhahahahahaha

:twisted:

Just going along with the whole "moon" non-planet theme

I should add the two moons of Mars too... anybody know their names offhand? I'm too lazy to go to wikipedia right now.

Add the rings of Saturn!

Oh dear, we're all going to end up on meteors, asteroids and pieces of old space station...

And I thought Pluto was a poor excuse for a planet... or a dog for that matter.

I don't know where Ceres is, which makes it sound way cooler than the other stuff.

Mars. You'll die if you try to visit Mercury, Venus, the Sun and Pat Buchanan. And I don't know what Ceres is.

(Pssst...the moon isn't a planet...neither is the sun! :lol:
