God i am thick sometimes

nightshift is my excuse.

Why not?

Even with a 1:50 chance of dying, the risk vs reward is far too good an opportunity.

No thanks but to destroy the space station yes let me do it.

Why would you want to do that :confused:

Indeed. The ISS is awesome.

Wouldn't think twice. Definitely.

This. Easily would be one of the best experiences of anyone's life

It would probably be astronomical.

Nice

If it was a 1:50 shot of death then no I wouldn't do it. That's a very high risk for a nice view.

If I wasn't a family man I'd do it irrespective of any risk, maybe in generations to come it'll be commonplace but for ours it'd be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

MooMoo444 · 16 May 2014 at 09:30

I'd do it even if it 1:5 chance of death, let alone 1:50.

That is one experience money can't buy (currently)

Narj · 16 May 2014 at 09:35

Of course. Who in their right mind would turn that down!?

platypus · 16 May 2014 at 09:35

Definitely.

quickshot89 · 16 May 2014 at 09:40

In a heart beat yes!

meandu229 · 16 May 2014 at 09:44

Yeah I dont think many would turn that down. I would love to go because I think being able to see the planet from space 1st hand would be an amazing experience, and also you essentially get to fly around the station.

I hope you have got a good CT to go with it.

G-MAN2004 · 16 May 2014 at 10:06

Of course. I wouldn't even consider the risks for such an opportunity.

Sliver · 16 May 2014 at 10:23

I'd go in a heartbeat. Well worth the risk.

diamount · 16 May 2014 at 10:40

No thanks, maybe when we're doing tours on Mars or something.

Bennie-Mac · 16 May 2014 at 10:42

Of course I would. Also they dont even use the US Shuttle anymore. Soyuz only. At the minute I would be happy to risk my life to go just so the lack of mavity sorts my dodgy back out

Because he's a fundamentalist and probably thinks it's blasphemy. Best if everyone adds him to ignore. as every time he posts it's like this.

Or does light pollution hide the wonder of the universe.
Being able to look back and see this blue planet that every human ever has been born, lived and died. Then look the other way and see the universe I'm clarity without the atmosphere messing it up. That's before you get on to things like weightlessness.
