You know, I love musing about hypothetical possibilities like this and have many times asked myself the same question. I love the idea of seeking out and finding the unknown and hopefully being able to "Picard" myself into some wonderfully diplomatic relations. The answer to your speciifc query for me has changed over the years. When I was younger I would have JUMPED at the chance, but wouldnt have perhaps had all the tools I have today to navigate successfully-but who really knows for sure. If it was the flying spaghetti monster what tools would I really need? With the unknown in mind, as the mother of a small child I would have to decline the chance unless somehow I knew she could come with me and we would both be safe.
