gollark: The past is mostly not very good and it wouldn't be very nice living there. Unless you're time-travelling and can just go for a bit and/or bring back knowledge from the future (present?).
gollark: Plus, life extension research is an actual thing now so hopefully some of us may actually live long enough for space exploration at some scale.
gollark: Oh, and much faster.
gollark: > Born too late to explore the world / Born too early to explore the starsIt's not like being on some sort of ship voyage to a faraway place which you stand a decent chance of not coming back from would be very nice. Nowadays you can travel basically most of the planet very cheaply and with low risk, and find stuff which is new *to you* if not to everyone.
