What historic event would you like to have witnessed?
Probably the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
Edit: not to see the murder, but to witness the most important event in Western History. |

Whatever happened, it would answer the question of "Why are we here?" |

If I were given this opportunity, I'd have to go big. As Rain Man said, I'd like to use my one shot on something with a bit of mystery or wonder. Things like sitting in on some discussions (Declaration and Constitution for example) or watching a war/assassination (D-Day and JFK for example) just wouldn't do it for me..
With that said, I'm thinking: Sometime when the dinosaurs were around. I know that only narrows it down to about a 300 million year period, but I would just like to see them. The moon landing. Getting a front row seat to outer space with no possibility of harm would be too tempting to pass up. Imagine looking at Earth. Must be so surreal. I know for a fact, if given the chance, I would choose one of those two. But, some honorable mentions anyway: watching the pyramids at Giza built, Auschwitz during the Holocaust, and a slave ship carrying Africans to America circa 1700 or so. EDIT: In keeping with the outer space theme, maybe accompanying a rover on Mars would be appropriate as well. That doesn't have quite the appeal as the moon does though, IMO. |
