I would choose Mars, mostly because of all the plans that we have for it. Imagine having people actually living there, it sounds insane!
Jupiter! It protects us from asteroids and makes such a beautiful sound

Apart from Earth, Venus. Recently starting watching loads of content about Venus, and I just find it so fascinating how despite having 90% the gravity and 95% the radius it is so different to Earth. It makes me really wonder about habitability, and how lucky it is how things are. I almost feel sad that Venus is the way that it is, and that’s why it’s so interesting.
I’m hoping we find out a lot more about Venus in our lifetimes.
Agreed. We know so little about Venus compared to Mars despite it being slightly closer to us. That whole drama with the phosphene gas a few years back really revealed how much there is to learn there.
I also love that one of the serious ways scientists have proposed for colonizing Venus is to build cities that float in its clouds at the altitude where the atmospheric pressure / temperature are roughly the same as Earth’s. It’s simultaneously batshit insane and hoplessly romantic.
I can think of one.
haha nice…
Uranus.
I think it’s the prettiest planet. I love how it’s sideways.Earth. It has this amazing self replicating stuff on it that seems to locally reverse entropy for a while using a system of absorbing energy from the sun. The stuff appears in a wide variety of forms and moves about and stuff. Haven’t seen anything else like it in the universe. It’s weird.
Plus, most of my stuff is there.
Mars. Simple, it’s the closest and best candidate for exploration (and hopefully more!) in my lifetime.
There is so much to love about Mars. I would also like to add that its absolutely gorgeous from orbit AND the surface. Sure Jupiter looks great from Orbit, but I doubt we will ever take a cool photo from deep in the atmosphere. Its also distinct from the other planets when viewed with the naked eye from earth because of its very notable red tint.
i feel the same way!
My favorite planet is Jupyter. Jupyter and his moons are a wonderful sight to see with a telescope (same for Saturn).
I once viewed Neptune through a 60" telescope and the color was incredible. It was like a morpho butterfly 🦋 crossing a sunbeam in a dark forest.
