Past or Future

I've searched if there was already a thread like this but I didn't find one. So if you found a time machine would you go back to the past or the future? If I found a time machine I'd go to the future, you can always read about the past but you're not going to be around long enough to see all the things that are going to happen in the future.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The sun is probably going to blow up around that time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not only that, they only live for a few million years before they exhaust their fuel supply and explode, compared to our sun's billions of years).

It's a big universe out there, and our sun is only one of trillions of other stars, and our galaxy is only one of billions out there. Hopefully someday we'll be able to explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy to see what's out there (and hopefully we don't run into any alien civilization that's more advanced than us and wipes us out in the process).

I was just playing around with the sun joke, but I'm starting to believe in aliens more and more. People are finding things that look like UFOs, a couple found a body that looked like an alien, that gives me the heebie jeebies.

How ya doing, buddy?
