I heard that you found out about our Mars Headquarters... so I'm coming to get you!

Have you ever wanted to go to the moon?

Have you ever wanted to go to the mood? what mood? good mood, bad mood, nervous mood, wanting to punch someone in the face mood? I'm kidding, I'm sure you've meant to say moon. Well, I have. Hoping that I won't be mocked at, I have to say that every since I was a child I have always wanted to be an astronaut, at least an astronomer. But going to the moon, or just going outer space would really be fantastic. Though it will never happen...

Have you ever wanted to go to the mood? You mean moon? Yeah, the thought has crossed my mind, but then I thought, "Would they necessarily want me back?" ;D

Actually I wanted to go to Mars. But I'd love to visit the Moon.

I'd give just about anything to go to the moon. If I were Bill Gates, I'd trade my fortune for a trip to the moon, no kidding. Or for a trip to Mars.
Space tourism will be a reality in our life time. Tickets are already being sold for something like $20,000.00 for trips into space, which is supposed to take place in about 5 years from now.
I'll never be able to afford it, but it would be a dream come true.

I'd give all the money in the world to go to Neptune if it were possible *sighs*. I find that planet fascinating for some reason. But a trip to the moon would be great as well. Maybe by the time I'm old I'll be rich (and brave) enough to pay it a visit *dreams*

Well, I really wish I could visit Jupiter. I think my fascination stems from what I hear of the Gallileo Mission sent there, and when they shot a probe into the planet. So really, it's always fascinated me. Much more interesting than the moon, though the moon is nearer.

The thing about Neptune and Saturn are though, that they're gas planets, with no solid surface except their cores, and the pressure at the core would implode anything we currently have, or plan to have in the immediate future. Even if we had a super strong vehicle or suits, the visibility level would be 0. I'd love to visit Jupiter's moon Euro, penetrate the ice and explore it's water oceans.

Neptune might be a hard place to live in, but I'm still in love it. I just love it's blue surface. It fascinates me. How can't I love something so fantasticly looking as this? Europa looks fairly interesting. I wonder if those streaks are some remains of rivers or something. Maybe it had life ;D

Europa looks fairly interesting. I wonder if those streaks are some remains of rivers or something. Maybe it had life ;D If I'm correct, those streaks are actually cracks in the ice. What makes Europa so interesting, and the best possible place to look for life in our solar system, is the ice is water ice. The sheer massive size of Jupiter exerts extreme gravitational forces on Europa, which in theory, squeezes and mangles the moon. That is the cause of those cracks, and another result of this constant force would be the friction at the core, heating up the core of the planet, thus melting the ice which causes deep oceans to exist down about 10 or 20 miles of so under the solid ice. As has been proven in our own oceans, life does not need sunlight to exist, it needs water, heat, and a nutritional source, gasses and chemicals escaping through underwater pressure vents from the mantle. Similar vents may be spewing out nutrition on Europa.

I mean, when life first formed on this planet there was hardly any O 2 around. And also, anaerobic bacteria and such still live at the bottom of (namely) the Pacific Ocean to this day.

Ahh, you're exactly correct. Also there is the theory of silicon based life as opposed to carbon based life like us.
