Question of the Day, August 11, 2010



Richard Garriott was the sixth person to become a "space tourist," and the first to officiate a wedding in zero gravity. If you could afford it, would you take a trip to space?

No, not yet. It is not yet time. Still need to prepare.
But I would when I was ready, I suppose.
Well, I may not, as it could be a waste of funds that could be used to a better purpose.
So no, I suppose.

 

[itf cho]

If I had the money to burn, sure - why not...

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Will they let me take my gaming computer?

If not, NO.
I like Earthbound stuff... comfy chairs, dogs, icecream eaten for breakfast...

I know space is a big adventure and all... I'm just not a big adventurer!

 

[ultimateownage]

Probably not, doesn't sound that interesting and I could spend the money instead on the worlds best gaming collection.

 

[Swny Nerdgasm]

HELL YES!!!! Who wouldn't want to go to space?

 

[Blue Musician]

No, and it doesn't really interests me. I would only make a trip to space if I am going into another planet.

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Yup! In an instant. I have always wanted to go into space but I am not exactly astronaut (or cosmonaut) material physically since I have asthma.

 

[zombie711]

every time I think of going into space I remember the videos of the spaceships exploding.

 

[craddoke]

Anyone who didn't say "Yes, definitely" needs to hand in their nerd identification card right now - and just forget about ever ordering from ThinkGeek again.

 

[Berserker119]

OOOOOOOHH NO. I'm not getting in any hovering little pieces of metal in a vast open void where no one can save me.

 

[imnot]

without a doubt, who wouldnt (looks at results) oh.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Nope. Space is boring to me, I'd rather just stay on good ol' terra firma.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

If someone said "Hey do you want a free trip to Space" I'd jump at the chance, but given a pile of money I'd probably do other things rather than go to space.

 

[ESCAPIST DELETE THIS ACCOUNT]

Yeah course i would id make a list of things i need:

1. Shotgun
2. Laser Rife
3. Pipe Bomb
4. Space Suit
5. chips

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I wouldn't just take a trip there: If I could afford it I would go freaking live there. Lunar colony, Martian colony or, some sort of Quarian style, ship based colony...I want in!

 

[Devil's Due]

Within a heart beat! I love Space and one reason I am joining the Air Force is the possibility to go into space. Should I ever do get into space, I'll say the Star Trek lines just for kicks.

... and maybe the Dead Space Twinkle Twinkle song to annoy my fellow members of the crew.

Spoiler: Twinkle Twinkle...

It's even more spooky to me because I am playing the game and having this song play. Oh man...

 

[dex-dex]

i want to go into space to have a zero gravity wedding!

imagine the hilarity!
