New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.
Iceland
To the moon! If money’s no object NASAs budget just went up 100 fold.
I was thinking way too small with my answer. I didn’t even consider the idea of telling NASA that I could fund any and every project they want done, if they just send me to the Moon
Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.
But money is a thing, so i’m not going anywhere.
Somewhere remote that already has a well-established bartering system. Most of the usual tourist places would be a disaster if there was no such thing as money.
The Maldives.
Alpha Centauri
Europa, Jupiter’s moon.
Not Titan? I think the rings would be worth seeing.
Titan is a terrible place to view Saturn’s rings from; first of all the moon’s orbit is pretty much coplanar with the ring disc so you’re looking at something hilariously thin end-on. Second, thick opaque clouds. On the upside, Titan’s gravity is so low and the air is so thick given an Icarus suit you could fly like a bird. Or pedal power a Cessna Skyhawk.
You’d probably get a good look at the rings on your way in though.
Well, I’d also accept another moon out of the elliptic, but while Jupiter would be awesome, Saturn still has my heart for the next few hundred thousand years.
Titan’s also a proper planet; if it were orbiting the sun, it would be classified as such, giving it all of those great features you mentioned. But, it’s posed as a vacation, not a place to live, so maybe one of the other moons with a better view of the rings.
You know what? Money’s no object, so why don’t we arrange a grand tour? We’ll do Europa, maybe stop at Ganymede and Callisto (I don’t think Io is a very pleasant destination spot), then head out to Saturn and check out Titan and Enceladus, head out to Uranus for a stop at Miranda, and then finish up at Neptune to spend some time on Triton.
Fellow human being, you are awesome. Even with the expectedly years-long journey (money may be no object, but I assume we still have to work with current tech and obey the laws of physics) I’m down. Money being no object, let’s bring a hundred of our favorite people and decrease the odds of going stir-crazy.
I’m thinking, like, a really big Discovery I.
Your moms house
Probably Polynesia.
There are places where you can go and slum it and still have a great time, just visiting free attractions and going everywhere on foot and by pubic transit.
But then there are places where the luxury itself is the attraction, so cheaping out doesn’t really make sense.I can afford to get to Japan and then just stay in cheap hotels and explore local attractions in Kyoto and Tokyo.
I can afford to get to Bora Bora or Tahiti, but I can’t afford the luxury stay, which would be the point of the trip.There’s a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a “rally school”. For a bunch of money they’ll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.
If money really was no object, I’d build the first lunar inn and live there permanently.
“Oooh TeamAssimilation, that’s the Apollo Lander, it’s a valuable relic, please stop licking it!”
Lancaster Pennsylvania, lots of folk punk stuff going on over there and LNL is throwing another folk punk flea market in late June.
Lancaster surprised the hell out of me. I went there for work expecting another Podunk pa town and was pleasantly surprised.
Maybe build a submarine and visit the Titanic ;)
There was a knitting cruise I looked at before. Took you around Europe and had events to spin your own yarn and there would be workshops with masters. I think I would do that.
This sounds amazing!
