Whats your favorite planet

[James.Denholm]

That's scary... hypothetically, I wonder if an emu egg would last longer than a quail egg...

 

[Dr Pepper]

If there were an option to pick all of them, I'd choose it (love all eight [plus three]). Otherwise, if we exclude Earth, then probably Jupiter. It's kind of like the crossroads of the solar system, with us using it's gravity to hurl objects farther out into the solar system (and interstellar space). It also has a complex weather system (I've always been a sucker for meteorology) as well as many diverse moons. That plus the neat Arora at it's pole(s) make it my choice.

Well, if NASA ever gets done with the CEV, we can send a request to drop an emu egg and a quail egg into the Venusian atmosphere...

I'm voting for Mars, with Saturn as a close second, mostly because those were the first planets I ever saw through a telescope.

 

[Carl]

I`d vote for Earth first for obvious reasons and Jupiter second because it is such a good looking planet it is filled with mystery not to mention alot of helium and hydrogen :lol: and is the reason why we are still here today, because it has stopped so many asteroids and meteors from hitting us.

More like "Why the heck are we sending astronauts to the surface of Venus"

Not because it is easy, but because it is hard!

I can see the headlines...

NASA Plans to Drop Emu Egg into Venusian Atmosphere

 

[Andy44]

Why is the poll closed? I would pick Neptune. I remember when the first photos of Neptune came back from V'ger 2, and I was stunned at the fact that this planet had been named after the god of the sea, and up close it did, in fact, look like it was one giant blue ocean. Plus it's in the deep wilderness of the solar system, and I have a fondness for exploring far away places.

 

[Belisarius]

I would like to have voted in the poll too. My choice for a get-away-from-it-all destination is Mars. It's like Australia but it has more intelligent life.

 

[Tex]

I reopened the poll. The creater set a time limit.

Reminds me of why I re-voted for Pluto: it's like Ireland, but with less drunks and crazy midgets running around in green clothing.

You need not be worried, Bel, us Aussies aren't all like characters from The Castle (go out and downloa... I mean, rent it, it's hilarious!). Most are, but not all.

 

[Belisarius]

Never heard of The Castle, I'll check it out on YT. Cheers for the comedy tip. Actually Pluto has more drunks and midgets in green clothing than Ireland, most of them relocated there when the weather in the Emerald Isle got too much for them. It may be a bit cold but it never rains.

 

[Urwumpe]

Australians and Irish are just people, who got kicked out of England for their vices.

Australians because they like cool beer and don't get drunk before closing time.
Irish are all those, who got bored when watching cricket.

 

[Belisarius]

Actually the Irish (the ones who got caught anyway) got kicked out of Ireland by the English and had to spend the remainder of their lives in Australia as a punishment.

 

[darian]

Well I would have to go with Jupiter because those Moons I would kill to take a trip to any one of them. I mean and then to be able to look up at Jupiter from the surface of one of the Moons well that would have to be breath taking. hmy:hmy:

 

[jtiberius]

Melmac! what else?

 

[SlyCoopersButt]

My favorite planet to visit is Jupiter. It just has the most interesting features and moons of any planet. And no planet is as majestic looking aside from Saturn when observed from the surface of a moon! Third is Venus. It deserves some attention once in a while. A place for daring atmospheric missions! I once got a fully fueled DGIV off the surface of Venus into orbit. Pretty tough at first in lower altitudes! Must aim straight up full turbo throttle.

wow nice idea for a poll, i like Neptune, i dont really know why i like it maybe it's kind of a forgotten planet sitting out there in deep space, we have sent little probes to it, also it's blue and thats me favorite color.

 

[Master of Blades]

Neptune here too, "It's all too beatifuul"

Erm yeah... Well i dunno, just like it, seems like an oceanic planet (is there any water on that thing anyway?), like the colour and stuff..

 

[Tsynique]

Venus. So mean yet so lively and hospitable.
