If there is one place I would like to see before I die, it would be the surface of another planet...

Assuming I live for 100 years, then NASA better hurry it's ass up and create a colony on the Moon/Mars before 2093!

Although technically if I wanted to jump around nsht, I would have to be lower than 50 years, so they better have a damn colony by 2043!
