    I'd bring my sister. I think she's actually adopted from some alien race, so it would be nice for her to see her homeland in a cultural setting. ;)

    I'd have to bring himself with me...he entered the Guinness competition a load of times, convinced he was going to win a flight to space and about 4 years ago he set up a website called "sendmetoouterspace" and was on the local radio trying to get everyone to give him a euro so that he could fund a trip to Nasa:eek:

    This would be right up his street..I'd love to go as well just for the food:pac:

    If I were lucky enough to win I'd bring Brian Eno. I'd say he'd be into that kind of thing!

    Can I enter on behalf of my parents and send them instead? :)

    My dad loves any kind of orchestra and is always talking about how he's like to see one in the National Concert Hall. And both my parents are both interested in the moon landings and apollo story. I remember when we went to Florida a few years ago and visit the NASA centre they both loved looking at everything! The Science was fascinating for my mother and my dad is a complete history buff and then there's the fact that both my parents remember watching the space landings! :)

    450 Million people listened to Neill Armstrongs quote on walking on the moon "That's one small step for [a] man; one giant leap for mankind" on the 20th July 1969.

    That was music to the ears of many people but nothing like the ambience of a Brian Eno Production. I'd bring my wife who would jump over the moon ( but not as in Hey Diddle Diddle ) so we could have a bit of a Moon Dance and listen to Moon River .

    I'd also bring a copy of Slim Whitmans song, Indian Love Call just in case the Martians attacked :) . Anyone who has seen "Mars attacks" will know what I mean !

    I'd bring my boyfriend, he loves all things spacey - he loves nothing more than to sit and read Bill Bryson's - A short history of Almost Everything.....very often. And I love the concert hall so we'd be happy out!!

    I'd bring my girlfriend because she is a space cadet.

    Would love to treat my husband to this fab event. As a young boy he read physics and science books. Loves the outer atmosphere, galaxies, planets, astronomy you name it......He's a self identified TREKKIE!

    It would have to be Patrick Moore - astronomer, composer and lover of a good after show curry - what more could a gal ask for?

    oh cool, i like this. id bring tin foil to wrap the other meal up for after the concert :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 393 ✭✭kingofslaves


    Damn ! gills2 beat me to it ! I asked for Patrick Moore's encyclopedia of astronomy for my birthday when I was 7 years old. I also used to sneak downstairs to watch the sky at night ! I still remember watching the moon landing even though I was only 3 ! But my second choice would be Brian May from Queen who is a qualified astrophysicist !

    My girlfriend. I drag her along to so many things she thinks she won't like and usually ends up loving them.

    My son - he/we'd be fascinated by it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 188 ✭✭powerfade


    My girlfriend, who I do adore but to be fair is a bit of a space cadet so much so in fact that lately I have started callling 'Sputnik', it is a term of endearment I keep telling her!!!!

    And I'm a space nerd.

    This = win!!

    (and might just make up for the Romeo and Juliet ballet I had to sit through last night. The horror!! :P)

    Failing that, my girlfriend would love this. Combines 2 of her favourite things. Astronomy & Classical music.

    I'd love to bring my amazing husband to this, as he is just out of this world and means the sun, moon & stars to me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,364 ✭✭✭madmoe


    Without a doubt I'd bring Sir Richard Branson! He could learn a thing or two for his upcoming space travel program!
