Now, if only we could actually manage FTL travel...

That would probably pose one of the most difficult questions we've ever asked ourselves. Where do you go first?

Very true. Personally, I'd hit Alpha Centauri, which is our closest star, next to the sun. Or, hit the Horsehead / "Eye of God" Nebula, which are the most gorgeous pictures I've seen of space.
