REPOST: SPACESHIP OR TRANSPORTER?

You may choose between the following 2 objects:

1. A fully functional personal Transporter. It will instantly beam/transport/delocate-relocate you to any desirable location on the Planet Earth.
Limitations:
* Only functions on Earth
* Only you may use it (and smaller objects you have on you)

2. A fully operational Spaceship. It can carry 200 people, of your choice.
It travels 400 x Speed of Light (as an estimate you will need 20 years to reach the closest planet where current astronomers don’t rule out the possibility of some kind of life). The Spaceship is completely self-sustainable with a fantastic renewable energy solution.
Limitations:
* Does not have a Transporter

So, which is you?

I am an advocate for the Spaceship. To boldly go where no man has gone before. To leave something established behind. To be an explorer. And risk all you have had, uprooting, for the possibility of something extraordinary.
I just quoted Star Trek.
And yesterday I found the musical theme. For choosing the Spaceship.

Thanks to Manuel playing every Monday @ King Kong Bar (Berlin) for bringing this wonderful track to my mind.
Jan Turkenburg and his pupils of the Catholic Geert Grote School delivers beauty with the track In My Spaceship.
(For those who wants to sing along.)

IN MY SPACESHIP (Lyrics)

(Ashes to ashes, funk to funky,
we know Major Tom’s a junky…)

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one, lift off!

Watch out cause I’m taking off, in my spaceship
Well farewell and lot’s of love, in my spaceship
Yes, I’ve had it up to here
It’s best to simply disappear

I will meet T’poll and Dax, in my spaceship
Take a holo to relax, in my spaceship
I’ll shake hands with Miles O’Brien
Says my engine’s doing fine

And to boldly go where no-one’s ever gone before
I’ll just won’t be back no more

Have a drink with doctor Who, in my spaceship
To the Interstellar Zoo, in my spaceship
Singing Klingon having fun
Start a fight and then be gone

No more lessons, no more work, in his spaceship
Gone is Mister Turkenburg, in his spaceship
Yes, I’ve had it up to here (Beam me up, Scotty!)
It’s best to simply disappear

And to bouldly go where no-one’s ever gone before
I’ll just won’t be back no more

(Wooooow! Houston, we got a problem!)

Bye bye school and bye bye world in my spaceship
Jesse Klundert taking off in my spaceship
No more moaning say good-bye
See my brother no more cry in my spaceship
No more busy, always quiet in my spaceship
I will travel through the night in my spaceship
No more home work, no more home work!
No more tidying up my room, in my spaceship
We will travel on the moon, in my spaceship
Gone is Missis Hoogerman, in her spaceship
No more science, no more maths
Gone is whole the f***** mess!
No more home work, no more school, in my spaceship
Go to space are very cool, no more home work
In his spaceship, in his spaceship, in his …

Yes, I’ve had it up to here (Get off my bridge!)
It’s best to simply disappear (Energize)

And to boldly go where no-one’s ever gone before
I’ll just won’t be back no more

Tien, negen, acht, zeven, zes,
vijf, vier, drie, twee, een!
Dag Meneer Jan!
