      Right now we don’t have a way of bringing people back from a trip to Mars, so unless we figure that out I definitely wouldn’t be taking a trip there! I don’t think I would enjoy the long journey too much either!

      Only if we had really destroyed Earth and there was no way of living safely and happily here. I really love all of the nature and beauty that exists here so I wouldn’t want to leave it behind forever. Also there would have to be lots of other people there and fun things to do or I would probably get bored..,.

      I would like to visit Mars, and wouldn’t be against the long mission times (8 months each way). But I’d still want to come home at the end of the mission.

      I would not move to Mars with our current technology. First, we need to invent teleportation to eliminate the travel time. Second, I need an environment with enough space for recreation. I imagine living on Mars in my lifetime would be like camping in a big tent but you can’t go outside… or return home. If the journey was to another earth-like planet and could be completed in less than 10 years then I’d definitely go.
