Travel to Space |Pad Patter 12.10

Nah. When I was a kid watching the Apollo missions in school on TV (what a treat that was!) I would’ve said yes. Now I’m just a landlubber. I’ll continue to watch about it on TV!

 

I agree that it would be cool to see Earth from space, but I'm not sure I would like travelling to space. I love to fly, but that is a long time to be cooped up in that spaceship or shuttle or whatever. Maybe if I could just go up, check it out, and come back lol Going to the moon might not be so bad.

 

Nah, I'm good.

 

Same here. I actually get a little twitchy just thinking about it. My big issue is with feeling trapped and totally at the mercy of that craft and whatever/whoever was on it. I need options!

 

I've watched too many movie about space. something ALWAYS goes wrong and if I got stranded in space I wouldn't be all macgyver figuring things out and get myself back home... I'd be more curled up in the corner crying. Lol! So nope. I'll just continue to watch and love movie about space and stay right here on Earth.

 

In my younger days, yes, I would have loved to have gone into space. I would have loved to have seen Earth from the moon just like the one guy from my hometown did (Neil Armstrong, for those history buffs).

I probably have a fascination for space because of Neil being an astronaut. His first trip to space was in 1966 on Gemini 8. Then he made the famous trip of Apollo 11 in 1969. I was 11 years old for his first trip and remember the pride this town had at that time not knowing how much more the town would be tied to space in the future.

Big things already happening in town leading up to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing next July. When the movie "First Man" was released nationwide October 12... this town had a preview on October 11. I would have loved to have gone but having had surgery the day before, it was out of the question. The street in front of the theater was closed off and had a red carpet!

 

I like that your questions take money out of the equation. My issue is the time. Let's pretend space travel was as "cheap" as airline tickets are. Fine, great, whatever. BUT, if it takes 6 years to get to Jupiter? NO THANK YOU. If we could get there in 6 hours, then maybe. But even then, what do you do there? Take some photos and turn back around? I do love the idea of seeing Earth from space, for sure. How cool would that be?

But that whole "have a baby in space" thing? Ummm, what?

 

I think the g-forces would wipe me out... Or at least they do on those simulator rides at Disney, etc. So I will stay here on earth. However, I do want to teleport some day - beam me up Scotty - or to Kentucky.

 

No thank you. I’ll just look at someone else’s pictures.

 

My son has always been fascinated with space travel and we talk about it often. He always brings it up- not me! He - 100% would go and I’m always like -nope, not a chance. I don’t think I could handle that confined space for a day never mind months! Plus I think I’ve seen too many crazy movies/tv shows over the years that would make my mind race with worry.

 

Ok, that part of it wasn’t even on my mind! That’s gotta be interesting .

 

No thanks! I actually don't mind flying and I can think of a lot of other places I would rather fly to.

 

Until they have reliably working transporters a la Star Trek, there will be no space travel for me. I don't even do well with thrill rides at amusement parks - no way you're shooting me into space on a rocket.

 

No thanks. I don't even like to get on an airplane for a couple of hours. I'd never make it to space and back.

 

Hard no.
