Aliens present us a time machine that will only make one three day round trip: Where do we go?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) September 23rd, 2011

The Aliens don’t want to talk. They notify us very officially and expect only for us to give them a hero, and a date. After that they make it clear that they are taking their time machine and their technology with them. The horonaut, (I made that up, but probably not first), can only wear a cotton garment they provide and can bring nothing else. They promise to make a lovely multiperspective HD home video of the trip on a DVD.

They also allay our concerns about accuracy of timeline by assuring us that they will get us as close to the chosen three day period as possible. If we want to see Jesus’ heralded death and ressurrection, for instance, then they will spare us having to guess at which three days that occurred on. We can only go to the beginning of our own solar system, or the end. They will not tell us the dates for future events if we ask to be sent to the destruction of earth for instance.

That’s everything. Now, where do we send the horonaut?

I’m thinking Jesus’ resurrection would be cool, but maybe it wouldn’t be enough to prove anything even if we had video of His ascent.

Maybe, going into the future would help the most. Where would you think is best to send the horonaut?
