What Sci-Fi planet would you like to live on?

I didn't ;P Elaine (slightly smug fluffy tigress) Err... what?
Visit http://www.notreadytogiveup.com/[^] and do something special today.
From the original Alien movie, it's the planet that the Nostromo finds the derelict alien vessel that carries the eggs of the Alien. The vessel is broadcasting a distress signal. The crew investigates, one of them gets infected by the Face-Hugger (can't recall the character's name, but he's played by John Hurt), and you know the rest... :)

Pick any planet/moon from Sci-fi movies/literature or in our solar system. I think living on a moon oribiting Saturn would be awesome. :) Marc

Wow, it's always sad to see so many people who's only concept of sci fi is star wars. Personally I think it would be fun to live on the space "ship" the "Gay Deceiver" from the RHL novels since it trumps *everything else* in one go as it can be taken to *any* mythological planet at any point in history. "In one of his later novels, The Number of the Beast, Heinlein introduced the character of Gay Deceiver, an intelligent space car which embodied his ability to transport readers to strange and exotic places. Gay Deceiver could travel not only through time and space, but between different fictional settings as well, depositing her passengers in L. Frank Baum's Oz, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom, and—in a supremely self-referential leap—Heinlein's own "Future History". "
"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." - Walter Bagehot
Ahh ... Number of The Beast. The first Heinlein book I read.

I'm not which is sadder - you for mentioning it, or me for actually immediately recognizing it and being able to identify it's context. :)

Ah, but the body is only identified in the later movies, it's anonymous in the original (and best IMNSHO).

You mean the face hugger? Yeah, that's true. I've always wondered about the giant alien carcass that they find in the first movie aboard the abandoned ship. Where did it come from? What was it like?

I second that. (OT: Never thought I'd come across someone else who'd read the Nights Dawn books.)
>(OT: Never thought I'd come across someone else who'd read the Nights Dawn books.) Serious? Most geeks I know have read it. A shame about the ending. What a let down.

Mine would be a GSV belonging to The Culture ... yes I know they're a class of ship, but The Culture don't have planets and moons they have Orbitals and GSV's ... and a few (Nivern) Rings and (Dyson) Spheres.

I kinda like the look of Earth mark 2 from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'd tweak Norway a bit.

Last week I was at a dinner meeting for local business owners and someone mention the most odd real name I've ever heard. It was something like 'Darius Thunderbutton' The first thing that came into my mind was "My name is not important." The only person who seemed to understand why I was suppressing a giggle was a guy Greg who is originally from London.

I'd pick the pleasure planet "Risa [sp?]" from ST:TNG series. Nothing beats an entire planet of hedonistic women. :)
