If you were offered a one way trip into space, would you take it?

Question

you would get to see the Earth from space, you would get to experience weightlessness but you would not get to come back, would you go?

Answer 1

I would totally take a ticket to space, but it would HAVE to be 2-way!  Where would you go if you couldn't come back here???  Yikes- I don't even want to think about floating around aimlessly until I died!

Answer 2

No way.

Answer 3

It depends i would if it was short like a trip to the moon sure. But not to long.

Answer 4

No but i'd give the ticket to someone who wanted it.

Answer 5

no i would miss everyone way too much.

Answer 6

Depends on how long the trip was. Probably not at this time in my life. But if was over 70 I would consider it.

Answer 7

Nope, I have to many good things going on at the moment :)

Answer 8

I'd give it to Gordon Brown...  :)

Answer 9

No but i know afew people i would give the ticket to.

Answer 10

yes!!!

Answer 11

I wouldn't. But i think it would be a wonderful opportunity for someone who has nothing to live for.

Answer 12

do i get free internet?

Answer 13

No.  I like the feel of sand under my feet.

Answer 14

Nope. I'd rather experience it in a vomit comet.

Answer 15

Not now.  There are still a few things I want to see and do here on Earth.  Ask me a few decades after I'm retired and I'll probably say yes.

Answer 16

let me think about that... ah.... NO

Answer 17

No

Answer 18

No, because I know what to expect here on Earth, I would be afraid of the unknown out in space.  I also would concerned about how one would eat and go to the bathroom out there.

Answer 19

At last!  A way to get away from my mother-in-law!

Answer 20

Never

Answer 21

errrr no.

Answer 22

Yeah i think so, I think if there were benefits beyond what you've mentioned.. Something to be gained or learnt I would. Just to experience weightlessness or see earth no, could maybe achieve similar results getting stoned.

Answer 23

Not just "to go to space."  Too many people have done that already to make dying in the effort worthwhile for me.

Now, if I were going to be, say, the first person on Titan, or the first person to peek below Europa's ice to see what's down there, then I'd consider it.

But only if my demise wasn't going to be used by nimrods to discourage further manned exploration.

Answer 24

In a few years (maybe 20-30) just about everyone will be able to afford a space trip anyway. No.

Answer 25

Seems to me that we'll all get that ride at the end of our lives.  I'm content to wait until then.
