Has been a dream of mine since childhood. A chap called Vargo Statten was a prolific British sci-fi author then and Isaac Asimov had not written his first of many books. But things have changed. Now realise that you would need a strict people filter to select those applying to be colonists. In fact I will open a question to see what types of person users of this site would disallow. My list would start with Christians, Muslims, Jews and all other Godforsaken sects and nutcases of a religious bent. Feminists and anyone remotely P.C. etc, etc....Drug and cigarette use would be punishable by instant death! Usquebaugh would, however, be necessary as a standard relaxant!

If I were younger, perhaps. But I think I'm a bit like you in that this blue peril of a planet is too much a relative womb of comfort & joy than to give that up for a time when you'd even be uncertain if a "cosmic 'accident' would spell your death or inability to return home.
Moreover, I believe it takes a special kind of person to be willing to live a life of sarifice for the hope of exploration... I think we'll have to get MIGHTY sophisticated in our technology before people will "jump" at the prospect.... I mean, there's no surfin,' sailing, etc. in space... or the moon & Mars.

No - who wants to live life in a bubble or in a space suit? I love this planet including nature, the blue skies, the different seasons (yes I've had some wine so I love everything at the mo!) - not its inhabitants. If there was just me, my kids and good spirited people then I'd be "over the moon!" lol. Not to mention animals too because they deserve better than the treatment that a lot get now. Hic! (I'd transport all wicked, nasty, people to Mars on a one way ticket!).

Absolutely! It would be a wonderful adventure, and a chance to see if the moon really was made of green cheese, and whether mars bars come from mars....
Kidding aside, yes, I would go in a heartbeat.

I 'd like to work on one of the moons of Saturn as an overpaid, self-indulgent art critic with stomach ulcers and a cantankerous second wife. The sight of those rings every morning - oh man!

Oh yeah! My doctor's been telling me to lose weight ... if I went to the Moon I'd lose 190 pounds!
Seriously, yes I would love to work on the Moon or Mars. Sign me up!

If aliens were out there - i wonder if they would be racist towards us, and say things like Go back to your own planet, You humans are smelly and You pink, yellow, brown b-----ds.
We do it on earth why should they be different - maybe i should have put that as a question on here myself!
