      Yes!!!!! I actually applied to become an astronaut this year, with the Canadian Space Agency (I’m Canadian). I made it to the top 2% of all applicants, but didn’t make it any farther, unfortunately. Though the dream is still alive, and I will apply again next time (which might be after another 8 years).
      Having a dream is important, and taking actions to make that dream come true keeps me going 🙂

      Sorry, I read that question as ‘Would I go to space…’

      To answer the question you actually asked, I would want to go to one of Saturn’s moons, Titan, or one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa. So far, there is evidence of liquid water on both moons, so it would be really cool to go and explore, and search for aliens 🙂
