Would you go into outer space today, if you had the chance?

This may be a strange question. but I had this discussion with my family, a couple days ago, so I decided to post it here! If you had the chance to go to outer space today, would you?

Personally, I don't really want to go into outer space, what is there to do? No real food, no TV, no real surroundings. Sure you get to explore what is outside this world, but there are so many limits, and time frustrations, it may not be such a nice experience after all. By the way, It takes 4 days to get to the moon! You can't interact with all your friends, or family. I don't really see the big deal, and besides it is very dangerous, think of all the accidents and tradegies that have happened over the years. I wouldn't do it, it's just not that appealing to me.

Your thoughts?
 
I would like to at some point, but not until technology advances another 30 years or so. Everything I really want is here on land and I haven't heard of anything in space that I really want to go see. It really depends on the advances in technology i think

I would do it. Not now that I have a wife and kids, but back in the day? No question. I'm all about tying high explosives to my back and propelling myself at great speed.

Actually, I'd just love to expierence weightlessness and walk on the moon.

Are you sure that would be a good thing? I don't know. You start floating through the air in one direction until you smacked into some furniture corner Well, I guess she'd smack into it. Yeah, nevermind...it would be cool.

If NASA called me up today and said we're sending a shuttle up tomorrow do you want to go? I would be there in a heartbeat. The shuttles have been going up for more than 20 years and there have only been 2 accidents. The Challenger accident happened because they launched when it was far too cold. Columbia was a freak thing that has only happend once in over 20 years. The insulation has been breaking off the whole time and Columbia is the only shuttle that has had a problem with it. My only request would be that they send me up on Enterprise.

I would go to space in a heartbeat.

While I was there, I would throw a spaceship out the window, or the cargo bay or whatever. Well it wouldn't be a real spaceship, it would be about a foot long. I would build it to look real, and throw some microwave parts in it to make it look like it has engineering in there or something. Then I would put a dead mouse in the cockpit with a little helmet. Millions of years from now, some civilzation may find it and wonder endlessly about the little mouse-people.

Alternatively, I would build a greeting vessel kinda thing with information on humans (or so it would appear). In the center of it I would have a bunch of arrows pointing to one thing - one of those sticks of gum that snaps your finger when you pull it. I like the idea of some civilization, millions of years from now, finding contact with another species and having it snap their finger, and that's it. Ha. Suckers.

:slappy: Why do I feel like I just read some "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handey?
