You've been given the opportunity to own a brand new space ship, that is well defended, can replicate food/fuel, and is fast enough that you can explore the entire galaxy within your life time. (That really only works if you're fairly young. lol) However, if you choose to take this opportunity, you can no longer return to Earth, ever see or speak to anyone from Earth, or share any of your findings with Earth. You also have no clue whether or not there actually are aliens in the galaxy, or how advanced they are.

Would you do it?

Heck no, I would be way to scare to do it also, I would want to stay on Earth, because I would miss all the things and people on Earth.

I would also get lonely :(

Keep in mind, it's entirely possible that there are other races out there, possibly way more advanced than us, that you could meet, and maybe even join at some point, if you get tired of exploring.

Then again, maybe not.

My, Uranus sure is big.


Travelling the cosmos could be fun. Am sure that I could find a nice meat substitute. Like eggs.

And there are bound to be bunch of asteroids to have fun with.
Tractor beaming them towards planetary collisions, blasting 'em for target practice, looking for the worm than ate the Falcon, etc.

No, I don't think even in my darkest moods I'd want to be alone for the rest of my life. I like the idea of doing something meaningful and seeing new things and having those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, but it seems awfully lonely.
