Like can you go back to what the earth was before the Big Bang? Can you go far enough into the future on whatever remains of earth (matter cannot be created or destroyed) to see past the end of the universe? So it all depends on how TH defines earth. If it’s just this recognizable sphere with these oceans then space without a doubt. Then with space it’s like ok even inside black holes, into whatever dark matter is with some way to navigate it, into other dimensions if they exist, if we’re in a multiverse then....
If I can explore other worlds then I'm down. The feeling of stepping on a planet where there is no life and you can just imagine the claustrophobia of there being not a single lifeform on a planet besides yourself on a planet the size of the earth... Jesus, there can be nothing to compare that to. And if I can make first contact with an alien race, then... what else could possibly be worth that?
