It's the year 2500. A super-cool space shuttle has just been developed. It has everything you will need to survive Space travel. You're on a mission to explore outside of our Solar-system. The ship can travel 90,150 miles per second. You will be out in space for approximetley 5 years collecting data from other systems. Would you take the risk of a Space mission like this? You are billions of miles away from Earth, with no way of communication.

I would take the risk. I've always dreamed of seeing the Earth and it's surroundings from a different perspective. It's totally worth it for me

[Phorgot]

i would

I find astronomy interesting but I'm a biologist at heart, I'd want to stay here and keep doing that kind of work.

i'd lke it, and is it a incidence that i have "final countdown" on? LMAO



anywayz, i'd be there, it would be cool to see other planets from different views (As well as my own) and maybe some organisms cultures(sp?) there

Being surrounded all alone by black emptiness with a small bit of metal keeping you from it? No thanks.

I don't like the idea of being trapped like that. You are trapped in that situation, even if you like it.

Run out of food, water, or air; pulled into a planet or star; smashed by a meteor or asteroid; maybe even madness from being all alone for five years? And it isn't likely to get anything real good out of it. Besides the sights, I mean.

d00d, you're thinking of all the bad things, and i wouldnt do it if it were only 1 person.


but think of the views, think of other organism/planet contact.
think of that in that little earth is a Boot organisation called SeeD

[Serenarocks]

scared 'o hights

[Zziggywolf5]

Well, I'm a pessimist.
I just don't like to be trapped like that and only be able to hope you make it through.

Organisms?
Time to pop out the Drake Equation: N=R* times fp times ne times fl times fi times fc times L. (Sorry about my lack of code understanding. )
N: The total number of civilizations in our galaxy that we can detect.
R*: The rate of the formation of star suitable for the development of life.
fp: The number of suitable stars that actually have planets around them.
ne: Fraction of how many planets could actually have life. (Our solar system has a 1/9 chance.)
fl: Just because planets can support life doesn't mean it does. That's what this is for.
fi: What if the life isn't intelligent? That's this part.
fc: Does this life want to talk to us? Maybe, maybe not. Here is where it is put into account.
L: That life form may have wiped itself out by now, too. Humans have come close, so why wouldn't others actually have? This is the amount of planets that killed themselves.

So here is a quick example.
R*: two billion stars.
fp: 1/2 have planets.
ne: 1/2 have no life, those that do one have one in each system.
fl: 1/5 actually have life.
fi: 1/100 actually have intelligent life.
fe: 1/2 are sending signals.
L: 1/50 haven't destroyed themselves.
N: That makes this 10,000. Out of 2 billion.

lol ofcourse u'd have ppl
