Would you leave earth for a new life on a different planet?

Ok fast forward a few years and they have set up facilities for sustainable human living on mars. You have been given the opportunity to be among the first of the population to colonize the planet. It is history in the making. Would you go?

hell yeah earth is a shithole 28
no way deep space is scary its the great unknown 23

      100% agree, but I'd still go so that doesn't happen. Since you know some dipshit will try to fuck it up.

        I doubt your presence would make much difference (dipshits always find a way) but hey, one more fighting for the cause wouldn't hurt x)

    I would love to leave Earth (since it's a shithole and I don't find deep space scary), however it's risky since everyone else would probably want to leave too. Plus what kind of government would the new world have? What kind of people would be going? I don't want to live on a planet full of jerks.

    Well i'd like to visit the moon
    On a rocket ship high in the air.
    Yes i'd like to visit the moon
    But I don't think i'd like to live there.
    Though i'd like to look down at the earth from above
    I would miss all the places and people I love
    So although I might like it for one afternoon
    I don't want to live on the moon.

    I'd like to travel under the sea
    I could meet all the fish everywhere
    Yes i'd travel under the sea
    But I don't think i'd like to live there.
    I might stay for a day there if I had wish
    But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
    And an oyster and clam aren't real family
    So I don't want to live in the sea.

    I'd like to visit the jungles
    hear the lions roar
    Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
    There's so many strange places i'd like to be
    But none of them permanently.

    So if I should visit the moon
    Well I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
    I will make a wish on a star
    And I'll wish I was home once again.
    Though i'd like to look down at the earth from above
    I would miss all the places and people I love
    So although I may go
    I'll be coming home soon
    Cus I don't want to live on the moon.
    No I don't want to live on the moon.

    Itl be a huge step- gotta consider the possibility of dying somewhere far from home- like all those failed European colonies

    I really couldn't give a crap about living on a planet at all, but I'd be happier than a pig in shit living on a starship, traveling the universe.

    Anyone ever read The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut? Yeah I'd move there.

    I would, if I could bring my friends and family.

    Nah, being one of the first, although massively significant historically, would probably be pretty boring day to day. There wouldn't be a whole lot to do up there in early stages of colonisation.

    I would leave Earth, but I wouldn't go live on Mars. I want to go live on Mercury.

          It's not habitable, I doubt you'd be able to anyway... well unless you want to burn to death.
