I'd go to space even if I couldn't afford it. I'd live in horrendous debt for the rest of my life, never own a home, never could retire, no college education for my kids, but I'd GO TO SPACE dammit!
Even thought it says I can afford it, I'm still skeptical as to how much money I'd lose on this thing. But if I was 100% sure that it wouldn't affect me financially, I'd go and take you all with me. (Note: that is also my plan if I ever have to be in a life/death situation)
I think the only reason I would, is to disprove that whole "you can't get it up in space" theory. i'm pretty sure that if anyone could, it would be me.
Six space tourists, right? And how civilians in space have died?
OK, so there was that sad event with the schoolteacher, but still. The number's at least one in ten. I'm not interested in killing myself over a chance to be in an environment that I was not designed to be in.

zero gravity + drink = throwing up + one bad headacheFurburt said:
You know that feeling of sickness when you get really dizzy? I imagine that with drink wouldn't go well. Although I imagine it would be worth it for the sheer epicness.
I would like to go in to space, as it is one of those trips that would be so memorable and would imprint on you for the rest of your life.
Actually the number of deaths in space is 22 astronauts and cosmonauts, which is five percent of all people who have been in space and two percent of individual spaceflights.Erana said:
Not bad if you ask me.
It's on my list of things to do when my ship comes in (lotto). I placed it after buying a new car with cash, buying a house with cash, quitting jobs I don't love, clearing-up some minor medical problems, buying a certain island from the US, and having made the worlds largest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pie (Straight from the sewer to me!). Right after that is space travel as a step to defacing the moon so that nobody could ever again claim man hadn't made it there.
Then I would have a Coke.

Im tempted to say no. How long would I be up there? If only for a short time then yes because i dont have the dicipline to exersize everyday to keep my body able to support itself on earth, IE my legs wouldnt be able to keep me up on earth if i didnt exersize. And reentry does seem like a bit of a gamble but heh, its space! no way i would pass up an oppertunity like that.
Without hesitation. Space and our solar system has always facinated me, why wouldn't I want to get a little closer to it?
In a heartbeat, yep. I've been fortunate enough to take a Zero G flight, and that was one of the most fun experiences of my life. Add being able to see the Earth? Uh, heck yeah, sign me up!
