[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6104958, member: 177"] Yeah, it is a scary concept, isn't it? But, all my Grandparents lived through things that I can't imagine but must have been at least as scary. WWII, with the Soviets taking their country and not letting go, and they flee to America with nothing, not knowing the language. At least the folks doing this (I don't kid myself, really - there are already thousands waiting to apply, the chances I'd be chosen are slim) are going someplace hazardous, but it isn't like they don't have someone rooting for them and sending aid. My Grandparents didn't have that... Yes, but they're gonna send them with atomic batteries, space suits, and all. Give me an atomic battery, and what can't I accomplish, darn it! That's the odd thing - not to me. I really don't seem to mind the chance of dying, for a point, a reason - even a failed attempt, I think, would mean something. But living a desperate life, dying poor, alone on a planet of billions, forgotten? That, sir, is scary stuff! [/QUOTE]
