Should I stay or should i go?

Yes, I'm referencing the song. But the reason for the question is this... Say that one day, scientist finally tell us that they have now discovered that we can inhabit other worlds. Think about it. A new world to live in! What an opportunity for a new start! They say that everybody will be given the opportunity for a one time trip there. One time meaning that once your there, you cant come back. Would you go? In a new world there is much of the unknown.

For me the answer would be simply..Hell No. Why? Numerous reasons. What if these worlds already have there own governments and leaders. Obviously we would be the minority. And you can throw out basic human rights. Are we arrogant enough to expect at least that. WE are the ALIENS to them. I would hate to think that we weren't smart enough to repair the best world any of us ever lived in. "Abandon Earth!". Curious people would definitely want to go. "We could start all over!" Yeah right!

Humans would find brand new ways to corrupt the new world. And where would they be? In a world at war with humankind for all the damage they've caused. Wouldn't any body miss the world they were born into. The one with blue skies. Cool breezes. The oceans and all the life we've come to know and love. Kinda sappy, but I would not want to gamble that life for a fresh start. I want to go down with the ship. If you gotta go, go with a smile.

We just found a planet a little over 20 light years away that is the most earthlike we have found. Liquid water and all!
