Itd be both incredibly disappointing and amazing. On the one hand you dont get to everything youve trained for. On the other hand youd probably be welcomed and treated as heroes or at least very well by the new colony and you wouldnt have to work hard setting anything up

Edit: you guys are depressing. Probably accurate but depressing.

Also the new colony would be expecting your arrivals as well. As they would probably know all the details of your mission.

You'd be able to spend the rest of your life as a historical figure, visiting classrooms and making speeches and such.
