Yes!
To Mars, to find evidence of past (fossilized) life and hopefully find some extant life (will take some drilling rigs). Take in the sights! And then I would want to stay up there to start a colony.

Well....yes and no.
Despite the science fiction stories, and the real-life yen of mankind to search the unknown,...
Unless we find a way to travel a lot faster than we can at present, it would take many many years to get to our nearest planets. And not one, but many many hundreds or thousands of generations to go to another galaxy. Even if we could travel at the speed of light, it is still decades away from us.Even if we were in suspended animation, our bodies might not make the trip. And I am afraid it would be a one-way journey at that.

Sure. No matter what we find, the simple idea of reaching that far and for the first time is enough to make it exciting ;)

Yes, to see what it was like; I feel as though I was born before my time, and it would be my first choice of any possible occupation.
