    Ok, here’s my question for an agoraphobe.

    Let’s say we one day decide to build a space colony, but it’s sort of a one-way trip since the lower gravity would acclimatize your body in such a way that it would be difficult to ever return to Earth after several years on the Moon/Mars/wherever. And you would most likely live in an underground habitat where you would maybe make the occasional trip up to the surface to walk around outside, but it would be a hassle since you’d have to get all suited up. So most of the time you would be just chilling in your man cave or what have you.

    As an agoraphobe, would you make the ideal pioneer on such a frontier?
