I think I didn’t get a chance to comment on that, but my priorities are:
Stay out of serious trouble.
Have fun.
Stay out of trouble.
I think my distinction is that serious trouble is trouble that gets in the way of future fun.
Another way of putting it is that staying out of trouble is my higher priority, but my definition of trouble is kind of narrow.
It also depends how big the fun is versus how big the trouble is. If I didn’t have a honeywuzzle on Earth, I’d almost certainly take a one-way ticket to Mars with a few years’ worth of air and food and water, just for the experience. Or, more realistically, I’d happily accept the risk of overwintering in Antarctica for the experience of overwintering in Antarctica. (And I guess my notion of fun is a little idiosyncratic, too.)
