Default Would you fly on the Space Shuttle?
If someone "bought you a ticket" on the world's most expensive theme park ride, would you go and come back?

Understand, we're talking both launch AND re-entry here. And a little time in space to take in the sights.

Whaddaya think?

To quote the Great American philosopher Jeff Foxworthy, "I could be packed to go to the moon in 5 minutes!"

Yeah, I would go.

Question Ride
Questions:

1. Could I get life insurance?

2. Would the flight be co-ed?

3. Could I put the miles on my frequent flier card?

4. Is the food any good?

5. Is there a wet bar?

6. Is it just one carry on bag?

7. Do they get cable TV up there?

8. Will anyone know if I use the computer to find a porn site?

Stay healthy,
Andy

I couldn't pass that up - it would be the thrill of a lifetime to break the bonds of the Earth one time in ones lifetime - it would be an honor to go.

To touch the stars is something I've often wanted to do as a kid but the reality check of things that are to be kicked in and life is where its at today.

Oh well pipe dreams are good and awhile.
