Would you or anyone you know be willing to spend the rest of your life traveling trough space while starting?

a family for the purpse of colonizing some distant world ? What kind of person could do this ?
It could take several generations to do this .

No. Too boring! ~

I think I would.

Of course, much would depend on the construction of the space craft you were on. It would have to be made very comfortable, and give you enough stuff to do to keep you busy. There would have to be multiple families making the trip together, so it would be possible to set up a colony. A voyage of many generations would require basically a whole town worth of people. So going through space in a flying town wouldn't be much different from living your whole life in the same town, and lots of people do that.

But if that's the case, why colonize a new planet. Couldn't you just live on the space station?

When space travel becomes common place, I don't think that it would be any different than the settling on uncharted locations as humans have have done here on Earth.

Space travel, and colonizing other planets would merely be an extension of what was already done here.

There were great odds that we were up against back then, as there shall be great odds as we venture out from this planet in the not-too-distant future. :)

When the technology is developed to reach other habitable worlds it is likely that cryogenics will also be feasible. Lay down and take a long nap while a computer controlled ship takes you there.

You mean would I go on a Generation Ship? Only if I had no other choice. Or if they paid me a whole lot of money. Or if it was an endless party on the ship. Well, under the right circumstances I would.
