TopicWould you leave Earth to settle an alien planet?

Nope.

Maybe if the planets had been around, fully explored and researched, and actively settled for thousands of years, I'd consider it.

But as is I'm not even willing to move to Europe, let alone being the first to trailblaze a new frontier. I've never been much of a neophile, and I hate camping and nature and "roughing it", so a planet without infrastructure is pretty much the definition of hell for me.

I'm also not super-keen on signing up for a settlement mission where you're pretty much flinging yourself into the abyss and hoping everything goes right, and there's a high likelihood you're going to fail and you and everyone with you is going to die (quite possibly in some gruesome ways).

200 years ago, I wouldn't have been one of the people on the Oregon Trail. 500 years ago I wouldn't have been one of the people traveling to the New World. I'm too old and not desperate/unsatisfied enough to want to throw literally everything away and try to start over.
