    Biggins put "Space" in his travel bucket list, so now I'm wondering who else would like to go into space?

    Some people I've spoken to would jump at the chance, but personally, I don't think I would/could..
    I'd be terrified of the idea: I'm bad enough on planes as it is, and I'm very afraid of things to do with the universe, the vastness etc., and it the thought of it all tends to send me into a depressing existential crisis..

    How 'bout you folks? Same? :pac:

    Yes, no question. Risk wouldn't event into it, at least you'd die in a cool explosion.

    I don't know about you OP but I'm in space already....along with the rest of the planet. In fact I've traveled about 900 million km in the last year alone :cool:

    Where the hell are you posting from? :eek:

    just to land on the moon and have to fight the urge to take off my helmet
    a bit like crossing a bridge and getting the urge to jump over the side!

    What a silly question, man! Of course I would, there's probably a better chance of employment in space, anywho, though I don't know what space customs are like. (Strict like Australia? Would I need space currency in my intergallactic account before I can enter a galaxy?)

    Ah, I'd be happy if I just floated around earth. That would be a hell of a sight to see, definitely one thing I'll have to do when I'm old. 60 years of technological advancement should be sufficent..........even if I'm a head in a jar by then :pac:

    To be fair, asking this question on the internet is always going to garner more positive responses.

    Actually, if I could be on the moon and bounce around for a while in the low gravity, I'd enjoy that bit.

    Yes, no question as I mentioned in other thread.
    Hopefully someday when those tourist trips come around, I'll be on one of the earliest ones.

    Stuck in a confined space with a small window showing you infinitely more interesting places you could be?
    Having to pee in a bag and eat specialised nutrientally (sp) enhanced food from a bag? (a different bag)

    I can't imagine it's much different to being an old senile man with a weak bladder
