Where does one sign up? Is there a line yet? What time does the office where you have to sign up open?
i.e. yep, I'd go in a heartbeat.
Write your congressman. Tell them to have NASA build the "Orion" spacecraft. About the best use of nuclear bombs that I can think of.
To clarify some other answerers' thinking. Yes, from earth perspective, ship travel time on truly intergalactic ships would be millions of years. However, relativistic effects would make it a "ship time" of less than a human lifetime. Orion could not achieve these effects and would only be good for staying inside our own galaxy. Some British aerospace engineers came up with an idea of a ship they called [I think] Daedalus that would achieve speeds of approx 80% c easily causing relativistic effects aboard ship.

Andromeda Galaxy is one of the nearest It is only approximately . 2.5 million light year away
The new ship travelling at the speed of light.it would take 2.5 million years. Well. I can not picture any human being living that long. So regardless of their age , even babies will dye during their journey. Lets put it another way. If you are 25 years old and all your friends male and female and thousands of other people go on board , with all the facilities like cinemas,swimming pools,gyms, disco to go dancing, bars, redlights districts,chapels for Christians,Muslims,Hindues,Jews,Agnostics,Atheists etc. We need at least 10000 people. I will go. Remember in the future when the Earth gets overcrowded there will be not much room for an individual to move

Robots. That is an ongoing trend. Exploration of our ocean abyss has gone from man-ed submersibles to robotic submersibles with cameras, robotic arms, high intensity lamps. We see that in the Mars rovers -- Spirit and Opportunity. Why risk human life when a robot controlled by a team of human beings on earth can do the exact same job?

no waaaay, even if we could come back. Outer space scares the hell out of me!.
I think we should use the distant galaxis as a new australia idea! lets send all the bad people from around the world there!!

Not at our current speeds. I would die before we got to the next star. Do you have any idea how far away another galaxy is? It's friggin far. Hundreds of thousands of light years.

I think that you'd find a whole galaxy ;-) of people who'd literally kill to go.

It will depend on different people. I would not, of course
