2018-12-07 at 10:10 PM UTCI'd be okay with it if I was there to kill xenos. Otherwise it doesn't really make a difference and I'd rather die on the soil of my home planet.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2018-12-07 at 10:13 PM UTCDying in Mars within our lifetime would probably suck. The first people to live there are gonna have a horrendously shit time, with the threat of a helpless death looming over their head. It would not go down like The Martian.
I wouldn't mind dying on another planet in the tourism space age or something tho. -

Yeah, pretty much this. I'd rather die (and live) in the relative comfort of earth over Mars.
Even when space tourism is a thing, I'd kinda like to be able to go outside look at a tree or sit by a stream or something while dying and that doesn't seem likely to happen on other planets. But then I guess I'd probably be in a hospital anyway? -

2018-12-07 at 10:34 PM UTCI'd rather be the last human to die on Earth, preferably with close to 10 billion people in my belly

Did you spend time in nature when in your formative years?
I would like do die while beside a stream with a doggy and a book, which is what I think of when I think of being comfortable in my teenage years.
Preferring being outdoors in the bright sunlight and constant flowing water of nature rather than in the stagnant comfort of the indoors is a form of spirituality in my view.
As well as the far vaster scale, and far cleaner waters, you have to consider the fact that life is constantly being generated and destroyed in a stream.
It is part of nature, and I think nature is something we are all comfortable with on some level. -

I did actually, despite living in a city and generally being pretty disconnected from nature these days. From ages 4 to 13 I lived in very low-population low-development parts of the world, first rural US then a few different minor pacific islands, the latter being basically a third world country. Spent a lot of time outside.
I actually didn't really appreciate it all that much as a kid. Like I enjoyed having lots of room to play and exploring the area around my house and stuff but it was just normal to me, only in retrospect to I appreciate how cool it was. I could pick fruit from wild trees (mangos and coconuts mostly), enough to live on, and sleep on the beach, and enjoy absolute privacy in the middle of a ton of natural beauty whenever I wanted for as long as I wanted. I enjoy my lifestyle for the most part but now and then I get a real urge to go back to that part of my life.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

That sounds awesome. I had no idea.
I grew up in Ireland, which is a cold island. It was still beautiful for about a quarter of the year.
One of my cousin's grew up in Zimbabwe, and he told us how he loved being on the river and among the niggers and the wildlife, etc. Very Tippi Degré.
I always wanted to move to some place with a more vibrant nature than just having green fields and the odd stream. -
