Poll question: You can either go back in time or out into space
Round trip, limited stay, and for argument's sake, nothing the time travelers do can change the future--you're just a tourist.

And there's no guarantee that you'll see any aliens in space.

1. Space. Not just low Earth orbit though. Would have to be interstellar.

Edit: Or at least a tour through the solar system.

9. Definitely back in time
I'd love to see Neanderthal and Cro-magnon humans, how and where they lived, the sorts of things they made, etc.

11. Space
The past and future don't hold much interest.

But I've been a SF junkie since 9 years old. Definately space.

16. I'd go back in time and take a paleontologist to help narrate natural
history. Of course, there would need to be some kind of safe way to travel. Most eras weren't too Homo sapiens friendly.

17. Definitely time...
There are a lot of historical events that I would have liked to have seen take place. Plus the matter of the origin of humans might allow me to clear things up for the fundies :evilgrin:
