Just had some high school friends move to Pittsburg. I live in Pennsylvania as well, in the centre most region, near Penn State. Mars does count by the way (Currently on board the Curiosity Rover), though, I do believe we are currently (in todays most sane, scientific frame of mind) limited to only ever reaching things inside our Local Group of the galaxy. That being said, I wanna live somewhere inside Andromeda or just in space when the frontier is opened. Like maybe one day be a space pirate or live on a moon.
America is cool and super annoying at the same time and I would just stay in new jersey cuz its nice here, the only bad thing is taxes are high
