    I'd like to stay behind on good old Earth. It'll be nice and quiet after everyone's decamped to wherever it is.

    Consider the scenario. A somewhat stable wormhole appears 2km off the coast of Canada, at a height of roughly 100m above sea level.
    I bet the Canadians only managed to get the wormhole because of all the sci-fi that's made there, especially Stargate.

    The old McGyver though, not the new terrible one.
    It's the Jack O'Neill version of Richard Dean Anderson we need. And no harm having a few Irish names involved.

After huge amounts of media buzz and scientific study, the wormhole is determined to be fixed on our end but the end destination changes. It does so in a periodic yet slow manner, each planet comes up again every 5 years. This is the same for all planets as a starting point.

    After years of study, the door is thrown open to volunteers to colonise new worlds. Due to the huge amount of hospitable planets, it's fairly lax as to who goes through. You don't need the credentials of an astronaut. Would you go?

    It's be a great chance to prove yourself but at the cost of losing regular contact with home, having a smaller pool from which to build a social circle and find a a mate, the hardship of setting up a new colony and the unknown dangers...

    Maybe if it was a hospital planet...

    You'd better watch out for the Klingons near Uranus.

    A Stargate in a pyramid would be lot more practical than wormhole.

    Yeah but if you're to get all logical then how come in Stargate Command they have the lads with guns in front of the Gate. Surely it would make more sense to have a couple of 50 cals to the side, where someone exiting the wormhole couldn't immediately fire upon. I mean c'mon. I hope someone was fired over that.

    That's still at a angle. I meant something like this

    .......................[++GATE++]..
    =50 cal ==>........kill zone...
    =50 cal ==>........kill zone...

    Anything comes through and is immediately torn to bits from the side.
