Seeing as Saturn, while larger and more scenic, is a gas planet, you can't actually go there. You can visit the surroundig moons, though, which would be my preference. But I'm realistic, and would prefer to visit mars. Mars expeditions are plausible in this era, and even though most experts agree that the best way to put humans on Mars is to send them there for good, I'd still do it. Beauty is negotiable. Earth is probably the most amazing and beautiful place in our solar system, and the surface of mars is bland and desertlike. But it would be a unique beauty that a very few people have been able to enjoy. Just as all astronauts risk their lives to travel beyond our planet, I would trade life here for that experience. Side: Mars
Out of just those two choices I'd pick Mars, because we can learn the most about the history of our own planet and our solar system from studying Mars, and because it's one of the very few objects in space other than Earth that we might have a likely hope of someday putting people on. But if I had my choice of anywhere in the solar system I'd definetely pick Europa, because it's the only thing in the neighborhood other than our own planet that might have life on it.

I think that you're thinking of Jupiter. Saturn doesn't have gaseous rings. It has a lot of tiny rocks orbiting around it. The only thing interesting about Saturn is that it has a moon made of gasoline. Mar's isn't that interesting either but at least we can land there. Side: Mars
