If you could easily, without struggle or selling a body part, afford to travel into space for a week — would you do it?
-
Absofuckinglutely YES. No doubt. No hesitation. Well, almost no hesitation – just let me make sure the life insurance policy covers uncontrolled reentry as a payable event.
Unfortunately, about every government on Earth is hostile to the idea of space tourism, especially the United States. It kind of puts a damper on the fun when you have to worry about some bureaucrat deciding shoot you out of orbit because your vacation is threatening their funding.
At least the Russians understand which side the bread is buttered on. Hopefully the Chinese will come around too.
-
HECK YEAH.
-
No. Space = scary.
-
I will tell you my perspective once everyone (ha!) has weighed in on this. :)
-
yes, i think it would be so cool!
-
How far out in space and for how long? Yes.
-
nope
-
Nope. At least not at this time of my life. I would miss my kids too much. They are so small and changing so much every single day and I do not want to miss an entire week of that. (For the record: I did not spend an evening away from Dax until I was in the hospital giving birth to Devin so…yeah.)
If I can have a raincheck until the kids are grown (or at least grown enough that missing a week with them would be a blessing) then I’ll take it.
-
oh yes – but I’d want to take my kids!!! ( like Michelle, my first night away from #1 was when I was away birthing #2)
-
Only if space travel doesn’t equal crazy pollution… I once read an estimate of the impact of a single booster rocket expedition to space in terms of the amount of pollution created by cars over their life time and it was in the tens of thousands (if I recall correctly).
Otherwise, hell yes!
-
yes. with out question
-
Nope…. but I’d like to shoot a few people into space sometimes… one way! ;)
-
Nope. What the hell for? And besides, I haven’t finished exploring earth yet.
-
YES!
-
Can people who want to go enlighten me as to why? I’m curious
-
You couldn’t pay me to go into space. Seriously. No amount of money – even in the millions range – would convince me to get into a space ship/shuttle/rocket and.. go .. there. Ohgodno. Not a chance. No way. Nuh-uh.
-
While it would be totally flippin’ cool to do so, no way. There are way more other things that I could do with that money (currently the cost is $20M US, I believe) that I would much rather do.
