"I am giving you a time machine that is only good for one trip and return. When do you go to and what do you want to see?"
The big bang so I can say I saw it, it happened |

First I would withdraw all my money in cash, and borrow as much as i could in cash as well. Then write down everything I could remember about the future, then go back to when I was 18 and give myself the list and cash.
that money alone would be enough to buy a house, and place successfull bets on world events, and shares in companies so I would never need to work again.
Boring, but practicle. |

"Golden age of sea faring "
As an ex merchant navy officer I can agree with that, but it depends on what you consider the golden age. I think the best time period, at least for British seafaring was 1960 to 1980 and I caught the very end of it as a cadet and officer.
I still got my uniform if anybody wants any rollplay.....ok...it don't fit! |

"Live aid at Wembley, seeing Queen
I was coming here to say this! "
I was there. Best 20 mins of any performance I've ever seen.
Could I have a ticket back to Liverpool in 1962?
The Cavern Club to see the Beatles, then onto the Kop to see Roger Hunt. |

"10,000 years in to the future.
There should be enough scientific and medical advances to bring that knowledge back, and save millions, if not billions of lives in our current time stream."
That's assuming civilisation wasn't previously wiped out in a global nuclear winter of course. Even excluding that eventuality human civilisation hasn't always moved forwards - just look at what the Romans did with mathematics.
This is also an indirect example of the grandfather paradox. I don't know whether it was deliberate or not (I suspect it was) but pretty much every example of why time travel simply isn't possible was demonstrated in "Back to the Future" (great film). |

Wouldn’t go back, forward, year 3000 maybe see how the crazy the world is, the gadgets, the way we live, don’t know, or do you go deeper down the rabbit hole, to what year can you go on earth, when does it end ? Or is it infinite ? Do we become a space dwelling species?
If I give you a couple more quid can I have a few goes ?
