That is almost a cruel question: if you had to choose just ONE place,
knowing there are virtually an infinite number of awesome sites in the
Universe. It sure would be nice to get some travel brochures, first,
with up close photos and info. By default, I would start with the
furthest known galaxy, then narrow it down from there.
At a recent astronomy club meeting, I saw a photo from Hubble -
probably the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The lecturer mentionened it was
taken by Hubble staring at a "blank' spot in the celestial sphere, for
400 (working) days consequetively. There were, literally, ten thousand
objects in the photo. Only FIVE were stars, which were in our own
galaxy. The rest were distant galaxies!
Main reason for this astounding cosmos: It is quite obviously that God
is saying, ":Look at this. I created this for my glory! It is giving
you a hint of my glory."
But second thing I take from this: well, with just one place to visit,
I might well choose one of those galaxies. Then, as I said, narrow it
down from there.http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/arc...eases/2004/07/
Here's a hint of what you MIGHT see somewhere out thehttp://www.sci-fi-o-rama.com/2008/07...elling-cities-...

Yes in deed, perhaps we should go for our second captured moon
"Cruithne", of merely 1.3e14 kg would be extremely interesting and
otherwise extremely nearby, as well as offering minimal Delta-V.

Cruithne (the unpronounceable) is more of a co-orbiting body whose
orbit crosses the Earth's orbit than a moon. By the same logic you
could call Pluto a moon of Neptune. But it could give Obama the
opportunity to lay down a new inspirational challenge to NASA "to land
a man on Cruithne by the year 2020!" Who know what lies on mysterious
Cruithne! Maybe diamonds, maybe gold! We won't know until we send a
mission there.
