If you won a free flight on the next Space Shuttle flight - would you go?
I would love to see the earth from outer space and experience zero gravity BUT it's also a big risk.
** BTW Totally posted in the wrong section .. but since you can't delete posts anymore will leave it up to a mod to move it ..
Having said that if your other half won the place would you let them go?

Maybe.
I'd probably sell it on ebay though.
woo .;. that's cool, I never knew we could move stuff around, it's like being a mod ... :thumb:
Too much damage to the environment.
It's not like it's someting that can be offered to you everyday.
Would sure be neat to the earth from up there.
awkward I should imagen... but a wicked experience!!
Although I think they way they do it with Space Ship One is more like a normal plane journey, at least for the beginning part of it.
Everyone one die one way or an other...
Dying in a blowing rocket, I say is one cool way to go...
Like someone once told me there is a risk in eveything you do anyway...
You only live once as far as we know, fuckers, enjoy it! It'd be ACE... I'd want to stay on the ISS for a bit too!
Wouldn't lift off whilst high probably be awesomeley cool, thinking about it?
As for dying, so fuck we all gotta go sometime. I remember though in America they sent the first civillian up, some woman teacher and the bloody thing blew up before it even reached the atmosphere.
What surprised me was I was in school when that happened and the next day the NASA jokes started
i.e.
Whats does NASA stand for ....
(For those who speak geek: IIRC, a loop was executed a few more times than it should have been, and a value of 64 bits was given to a 16 bit variable... boom!)
Might have been the one that was launched a few days ago, there was another rocket that started flyig inthe wrong direction due to a software error, seem crazy really to have all that hardware work perfctly only to be screwed up by a programmer's error.
Well another rocket blew up a few days ago, but this might not be a software fault

I am prepared to take that risk, yes.
Talking of telescopes - who saw that partial eclispe today?
