I'm sure this sounds dumb to some people out there as I'm sure it makes total sense to others.

Yes, I would definitely go.... provided that I didn't get an 'iffy' vibe from them, or that the actual scenario wasn't threatening. For instance, if they made the offer at night, after sneaking into my house, I wouldn't go... But if, in the future, they had an open relationship with Earth, and the Secretary General of the UN asked for volunteers as part of an official program, I'd go.
I would not need time to think it over. The answer would be simple, no. That's right no. I could never stand never seeing Earth again, never seeing trees, the beach, dogs, or birds. If this is the price for the knowledge they have to give then I say too rich for my blood. Besides that is like cheating in a game, sure it is easier and you get to see the end faster but you miss the most important thing and that is overcoming the hardships yourself. Remember it is not the destination but the Journey that matters most. If we simply let them tell us everything then there would be nothing left to drive for, nothing left to wonder about. Maybe I don't want know every little thing, maybe I like looking up at the sky and wondering what is out there. I have said it before and I will say it again, ignorance is bliss.
