Yes!! With consumer space flight becoming an option, it would be a dream of mine to go into space!
No, it’s extremely hostile to humans and getting there is even more dangerous.
Nope. Anyone romanticizing space exploration should play Pioneer or Evochron Legacy. Space is vast and boring to travel.
what’s the worst that could happen
I would like to, I think it would be fascinating. I suppose it depends who the rest of the crew is?
Unfortunately, I’d feel so incredibly cut off from the rest of humanity which feels rather weird to me.
Fuck yes.
I don’t even need money, just give me a place to sleep, some food and access to some entertainment and I’ll work for free if it means I get to explore space. Imagine seeing Jupiter with your own eyes and seeing the swirling clouds and the great red spot. Or getting to see a brown dwarf, or a rogue planet wandering through space without a star, or a chaotic three body system etc. The possibilities are endless and it’s all absolutely fascinating!
Me, personally? Fuck no. I’m perfectly happy staying on this planet for the entirety of my life. Space travel is too risky, and I don’t really see how going to space would make my life any better. I will leave space exploration to people that are smarter and more adventurous than myself.
If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.
That depends entirely on the quality of the space ship.
Space shuttle? Fuck that janky shit
Starship enterprise? Fuck yea sign me up imma fuck all the Andorian hookers
Which Enterprise though? There have been at least 9 (not counting the Enterprise-J).
Really the NX-01 or better would be great
Nice
I’m going to go with Voyager or newer because of that sweet warp 9.9. I’d rather get to my destination a bit faster than NX-01’s warp 5. But if I had the option of NX-01 and not exploring space, I’d definitely go NX-01.
For non-trekkers’ context: Andorian Hooker.
As much as I love astronomy and find it awe inspiring I have to say no. With current technology not at all.
I am neither physically fit nor mentally capable enough to stand space travel.
When I think about actually being in space I always imagine standing inside a space ship/station, putting my hand on the wall and knowing that like a meter or so away there’s deadly, pitch black, unending abyss. Just a meter of relatively fragile material separating me from virtually infinite death. It just feels so antithetical to human life (at least on an instinctual level). It kinda makes me think of cosmic horror too (in the subdued way in which it was portrayed in a good chunk of Lovecraft’s stories, not in the more visual and physical way it’s usually shown nowadays).
Try millimetres for wall thickness
Probably not physically but if I get to upload my brain or somehow recreate a copy of my consciousness to the ship computer, hella yes.
Of course, why? Why the f not?
No, not If i had to leave my wife and kids here on earth, but if its like family Robinson in space (without getting lost) i would say yes!
Why not?
There’s nothing here on Earth holding me back, so why the fuck not explore the universe?
Even understanding the vast, vast, vast empty nature of the universe, I don’t see why or h9w I could say no.
Nope.
Its not safe safe. And theres not much to do.
