see the space and Earth from outside.

But the take is you might come back at all ???

would you take that risk and why.

I would if and only if interstellar space travel was possible.

Yes

I am going to be 2 to 3 inches taller in space ( So 5'11 3/4" morning height. I would be 6'2 3/4")

Now? Probably not. I don't really want to go to the ISS. I'd take the risk if I could go on a manned mission to Mars or something like that. Being a part of the most ambitious project humanity has attempted is definitely worth the risk. There has to be some end result or new achievement. Just going up and down again seems like it would be more trouble than it is worth.

I'll read interesting articles about something cool in space, but that's it. I don't have any interest in space. I would love to see Earth from space though. If it was just to go into space to see Earth, then yes.

state the probability of not coming back.

if the probability is like winning the lottery, sure, sign me up.

if the probability is like dwight howard making a free throw, no, f--k that.

I'd love to see the Earth from space, awesome. But if the opportunity ever occured, I'd probably chicken out anyway. Don't like heights :facepalm

no since i can't swim that well :(


NASA will put you through military water survival training and make sure you can tread water for 10 minutes in addition to swimming 75 meters in a flight suit and being SCUBA-qualified.

I'm taking this too seriously, but if I were given this opportunity, I'd regrettably reject it because I've got a family, and the chance of never seeing them again would greatly outweigh my love and curiosity for space when it'd come to making the decision.

I once had a dream I was going into space and I found it super claustrophobic. To this day, it's one of my creepier dreams.

Only if it was guaranteed I'd come back alive.

No thanks, there isn't anything to do in space.
