Would you travel to space?

[Water Crystals]

Hmm... I love space. Like, I think about it almost daily because it's so amazing and mysterious and I would love to explore it.

However, would I like to travel to space? Yes, obviously... but with conditions. Such as, what scares me is the idea of humans expanding beyond our planet considering how badly they're ruing this one and its people. Then there's the health risks involved with launching a rocket, going to space, then having to adjust coming back.

So my answer is: I'd love nothing more than to travel to space so I can witness and explore the universe, so long as it's not via human means. Something like the TARDIS (from Doctor Who) for example, as a concept of space travel. Seeing space is my ultimate wish.

If it was feasible for everybody not just the rich, was safe, could get there a lot faster than several years, then I'd be for it too!
Water Crystals I feel that same way. While I wouldn't mind traveling, I don't want people to look for another place to live. We can't take care of this earth, I don't trust them anywhere else!

Only if I can lead a faction of fanatic xenophile egalitarians on a quest of befriending every planet's populace and eventually achieve universal dominance through xeno-friendship.

...Sorry, I've been playing too much Stellaris. But yes, I'd like to go!

If I could, I would. I'd also bring my DSLR and see how it does in space as an experiment.

I love the idea of humans traveling in space, settling other planets etc., but no, I wouldn't do it, as despite liking the idea of an adventure, I have never really felt tempted to just travel to space for the sake of it, and I feel this technology is still in an relatively early phase.

Space terrifies me to my core.

No. I'm scared enough of planes. Spacecraft would be worse. I like my feet firmly on the ground.

I don't even like 3 story buildings.

I would love to travel to space just to see the broad expanse of the universe. I am not sure I would want to go through the rigors of training and the letdown after returning. However, I would love to see the planets and such.

I believe in your Houdini, you can do it.

Thanks!

But I'd rather travel by Stargate.  ;D

Oooh, that would be preferable indeed! You could even get a nice time travel surprise if you hit a solar flare!

Or get stuck in a time loop depending on the planet I landed on and which technology I found...

If I could go above the age of 60 & safely, sign me up. I turn 60 in September...

Just don't trust the archeologists, they have a tendency to want to abuse time travel. Perhaps instead you'll find polite old men who say Comtrya!

Congratulations on soon reaching 60! Hibernation in theory sounds cool, but not sure I could do it. You think you would?

I'm not sure the universe needs a robot me out there.

More like it's not possible to replicate the HoudiniDerek! But perhaps a stargate trip to Abydos would be preferable to play some sand volleyball.

Or maybe Earth is just best.
