QotD: To Infinity and Beyond!

Are you interested in intergalactic travel? What would you hope to discover?

Yep. I'm interested in intergalactic travel. Not quite as much as I was when I was a kid, exactly, but I keep my eye on the goings on of the space program.

I think I'm most interested in finding other planets that could support life (specifically our kind of life). Beyond the fact it would be interesting to view another planet that is similar to our own, it'd be a good idea in case of some sort of large disaster, like an asteroid or something, were to befall the planet. Gives a potential escape route.

Not that I hold out hope of that ever happening. Space exploration seems to be taking a backseat when it comes to funding. Seems like it's more important to spend our resources beating each other up than trying to explore the universe. Sigh.
