Would you be willing to die in order to get just a brief view of the Milky Way from the vantage point of the Large Magellanic Cloud?

Um, no.

Haha, I have to agree with Marina on that. Definitely not, it can’t be worth dying over. Maybe if I was 90 years old and felt that there was nothing else I hadn’t done. Still, there has to be a better way to go out….it’s just a glimpse of the Milky Way….

I wouldn’t, but I’m sure my Astronomy Professor would…it’d do me a favor. Yegh.

I would, if I was going to die anyway.
What a way to go out. :)

I don’t about you guys but… I think it’d be worth it.

We’re all going to die anyway.

I’d rather die having an orgasm or after eating my favorite food or doing something that I love to do. Besides what if the milky way isn’t beautiful, what if it’s kind of scary? And why do we always look at the stars and sky and space as beautiful anyway?

I am sure it would, but all the magnificence out there can be found right here on good ole planet earth-at a smaller scale, of course.

lol Marina, I said that to myself before I even opened the thread.

Like everyone else I would if I were dying any how. I would also like to fall into a supermassive black hole and try to see a singularity. I’ve always wondered what they would look like. I’d love to be spagettified too. Its slimming.

Or I would like to live long enough to see Andromeda when it pays us a visit. That would be nice.

Actually, one wonders if maybe that IS the way that we all go out!

Don’t kill yourself yet. I’m predicting in a year or two you’ll be able to do a virtual fly-through in Google Universe. I figure the view would like like M101—

It would have to be one of the last things I knew I’d ever do. Otherwise, no.

You know it’s funny, I’ve thought the same thing—not the dying part, but I’ve thought, “What would the Milky Way look like from the Large Magellanic Cloud?”

@aprilsimnel: Not one of the last, the last.

True.

ummm let me think about that…...NOOO :|

Maybe if i were already dying.
otherwise, i’d really rather just get laid
