Assuming money wasn't an issue, would you be interested in going for a day-trip to space or would you prefer to stay on firmly planted on Earth?

 

This is a public poll.

Definetly. I just got back from Space Camp in Alabama, and spacewalks sound awesome. So yes, I would.

 

 

Yay, I was the first person to vote!

Would the spacesuit be made in China? If so, I'll pass, thanks.

Until we advance a lot I like it just find on solid ground.

Would the spacesuit be made in China?

Somehow I doubt it.

Space Adventures Ltd. will offer spacewalks lasting 90 minutes in a Russian spacesuit.

china's spacesuits are as airtight as the american spacesuits. i would trust them.

Hell yes!

 

Where do I sign?

[calbiterol]

I'm with YT, word for word.

[ecoli]

I know I would do it, I'm just not sure when.

 

If I went up tomorrow I know I'd never be able to come back to Earth and then get up and go to my job every day. I'd just have trouble sitting at a desk knowing I was just recently up in space.

Idealy going into space would be one of the last things I'd do with my life. I think I'd appreciate it a lot more then. But then again, waiting that long could only mean that the lift-off will kill me.

 

The timing would have to be right (I don't know what that is) but then I'd definitely do it.

[calbiterol]

And if you could live there and still continue with your life with minimal hindrance? Would you go and stay?

 

I would. Provided I could still see friends and family, that is. And provided the health risks weren't there (bone deterioration, reduced muscle mass, etc). If the health risks were there, I'd still go, but I wouldn't live there.

No way. Floating around the earth, I get the idea. I don't need that stress. I'll just look at the pictures you guys take and imagine it.
