Just for a minute could you imagine how much this would frick up inheritances and the stock market.

I'd do just about anything to get away from my wife and kids.

If I had nothing to live for on earth, yes. If I had a family, no.

I absolutely would.
How devastating would it be to return to Earth and find it destroyed by war?

Nope. If the ship were only traveling 0.999999% the speed of light, there wouldn't be much difference between the amount of time traveling and the amount of time elapsed on earth. At that speed, traveling for only 80 years also wouldn't get you far enough away from earth to reach the closest star and so your 5 years "there" wouldn't be all that interesting unless there was a lot of stuff to do on the spaceship.

Say the almost 200 year estimate is real. Could you imagine leaving this planet 200 years ago, when most of the world was living in straw huts, and landing today with skyscrapers, etc in advancements? There would be 2.5 generations of people between you and your loved ones. Not to mention if there would be an actual country capable of landing you. We could be reverted to mid evil times again.

I'd do it just to see if they ever fix the I 10 problem in BR. I'm sure I'd be disappointed when I got back, though.

Nope. Personally, I think we are living in the last generation before AI, and I'd rather avoid that particular future.

Will there be any hot aliens to bang on this new planet?

with no family or kids, yes I wouldn't flinch.

You even time dilation bro?
I wasn't stating an opinion, it's fact.
If you're traveling that close to the speed of light for 160 years, time on earth will have advanced 116,800 years between when you left and when you return.
Humans as a species likely wouldn't exist, or would look nothing like what they did when you left.
Not to mention, there are 53 stars within 17 light years of earth. Clearly you don't science, bro.

You mean 99% the speed of light.
Posted on 2/16/17 at 5:16 pm to BOSCEAUX
And yes, I would. I'd rather die doing something no humans have ever done than live knowing I didn't take the opportunity.

Good catch. That was a copy paste job, and may have been what the poster above me was talking about.
I owe Bigger Bear an apology.

Do you even math bro?
0.999999% of the speed of light is close enough to 1% of the speed of light that the final calculation won't vary much. 1/100 of the speed of light isn't "close to the speed of light" and isn't going to result in much time dilation over the course of 165 years.
Next time, get your "facts"straight.
