Today’s new poll is about planetary exploration. The question is: How many planets will a child born in the year 2000 visit in his or her lifetime?
We encourage everyone to explain their decision in the comment thread below!
GUIDELINES:
1) The person doesn’t literally have to step on the planet – as we
know, planets can sometimes be very hot or very cold. They just
have to somehow “land” on the planet for it to count.
2) The child is born and remains in the middle-class: your average
Joe.
3) For the purposes of this poll we’ll be using the classical
definition of planets (9 total) and not including moons or
exoplanets.

This could be a moot point. Nearly every child born in 2000 will enjoy an indefinite lifespan. They could live for 100s, thousands, even millions of years.
They could visit planets in other galaxies; even other universes.
