      I’d love to see a binary sunset on an oxygen atmosphere planet – nice, warm and alien as anything! Or to see moons in the sky.

      But I don’t think I’ll get the chance in my lifetime – sigh – maybe you might?

      I would love to travel to another planet and see what it would be like! I wonder if there would be alien life-forms and what it looks like to have 3 moons? Or what about to be on moon and see a saturn like planet hang in the sky? That would be brilliant! I’d even love to go to Mars, although it’s like a desert (but cold!) and so it would be a lot of hard work.

      The only condition I’d have is that I’d like to be able to come back. It would be amazing to visit all of these exciting new planets, but Earth is my home and I’m pretty fond of it.

      I would love to visit an habitable moon. We may be able to terraform Europa, around Jupiter, in the future? That would be really cool: seeing lots of different moons in the sky, a big gas planet in the background. I can imagine that it would make for super romantic settings!
      I think it might happen one day. But how soon, that is too speculative to say. 1 century ago, people might not have thought we would be watching football games on smartphones. At the same time, we are nearly at the time that was traveled to in ‘Back to the future’ and we are still waiting on those hoover boards!

      It would be the most amazing experience, think of the things you’d see that no one else ever has. If there was life on another planet it wouldn’t like like life here, and if we went somewhere without life the planet would be different to earth.

      Even within our own solar system the range is huge, every planet is unique in some way. Imagine standing on Jupiter (impossible, it’s gas, but roll with it) and watching the sun shine through the rings for example, or seeing the red spot of Saturn close up!

      No thanks! I like it here on Earth. There’s so much that is still be explored and understood here, from the depths of the oceans, to the heights of the atmosphere.

      I’d quite like to go up in a hot balloon someday though…;)
