If it were possible to harness unlimited energy to where mankind could leave the planet and build a new world by harnessing the resources of the solar system, would you be willing to take on the challenge and start a new world? Meaning leaving planet earth for good...

Cool, what a strikingly inticing question . . .

I have actually done something similar. No, I have not traveled outside the Earth's atmosphere or anything, but I took off and went to Europe without coming back to the states for three years straight. I realize that isn't the same thing. But I was in fact leaving everything and everyone I knew behind without any certainity of ever coming back.

Anyway, I think I'd say, Yes. Maybe I'm deluding myself right now, and I would chicken out if ever really presented with such an opportunity. But I believe I'd almost have to say, "Yes". I couldn't pass up the chance to, firstly, see another part of our universe up close, and secondly, to "bravely go where no man has gone before," or something like that.

It depends on how many hot women were on board the spacecraft.

Oh, yeah, and that too.

Can I change my answer? 'Cause if the cast of Celebrity Fit Club is onboard, I'm not up for a trip into the outer regions of the galaxy, or even the next county over.

I'd pick the first choice if my entire family wanted to come along..AND, if we lived forever. :D

If we can't have that, I'll stay here and works things out.

I'm game, but you'll have to go through a complete neuron replacement process. Its actually very painless but it does annihilate your biological neurons with better faster, wifi enabled neurons, Steve Jobs calls it the "iBrain". :D

Alright, you've got a deal. But, only if the wifi is free.

To be perfectly honest it would depend on if the spaceship had a still, barley malt and some distilled water.

I think not trying to fix this wonderful planet we live on and abandoning it is irresponsible. So no I personally wouldn't go. It could help the population problems though if other people went.

To me the idea of starting a new civilization founded on courage and the idealism of creating a world is novel. There is no nation past or present that isn't founded on violence and/or hypocrisy.

It is shallow of me to say "yes" just because I read too much Isaac Asimov as a kid and want to live on Foundation?
In any case, I would vote "yes", but none of the "yes" options really applies to me. I don't want people to be indifferent to religion, because I have one, and I'm not indifferent to it, so that would exclude me. But I don't want no religion, either, and I'm not much one for imposing myself on others, either! But yes, I'd want to go.
