Working magnetosphere, compatible atmosphere, highly reliable transportation back to earth, exempt from all future taxes for being the first test subject, the ability to choose my team that I go there with.

In all seriousness, anyone considering this should first spend 6 months in death valley in a space suit. No cheating, you must use air tanks and atmosphere controlled living chambers the entire time. No cell phones. If there is an emergency, you must be self sufficient. You get MRE's to eat and only the water you brought with you to drink.

I am not an early adapter.
