Same but different. Excluding the continent you were born in, how many others have you visited? For the sake of argument, we'll go with the seven continent model.

I'm right in the middle with 3. Shockingly no Africa or South America. I'm not going to Antarctica on principle (no judgement on others, but there's no need for me to pollute it).

4 if you count a layover at the airport.

The usual three.

I would love to see this poll.

I wonder if it would be interesting to see it broken out by stopovers vs military service-related visits vs tourist visits vs lived there.

Four,

Tally Ho!

jdpintex13 Nov 2023 10:57 a.m. PST

5, I'm missing South America and Antarctica. I almost reenlisted in 1985 for a chance to go to Antarctica but I was offered too much money to go into a tech startup so that was that.

Nobody said 'moon' so can we presume that no former astronauts or cosmonauts are active members of TMP?

Disco Joe16 Nov 2023 11:26 a.m. PST

Just the one I live on.
