**Canadian Dude** · 09-13-2003, 06:08 AM

Not exactly budget travel, but FO-SHIZZLE, i would take that trip!! B)

**Diorama** · 09-13-2003, 01:37 PM

Hell NO. that's too scary and I still cant "get" that we are actually a floating object in the universe that goes on for infinity. ooooh too scary.

butternut punkin · 09-13-2003, 09:04 PM

absolutley, what a trip!!! :D

I wonder what an acid trip would be like in zero gravity

bristoltraveller · 09-14-2003, 10:22 AM

whole weightless thing definatley interests me, Im just not overly sure about being in that little capsule - probbably not as bad as being in a submarine (maybe)

**llemus7** · 09-15-2003, 02:47 PM

I would take that trip for sure. I would like to literally be on top of the world! That would be a very interesting voyage.

TUI · 09-15-2003, 08:33 PM

I wonder who will have the first "space hostel"? :D

**travelpunk** · 09-16-2003, 07:11 AM

Errrr....I'm not so confident in NASA at this moment, but if I was unequivocally guaranteed to return home safe and sound, I would go in a heartbeat! I'm also fascinated by the whole zero-gravity thing

Columbia · 11-14-2003, 05:30 PM

Woah Tui, thats creepy. Lotsa business, I'd imagine. Maybe I'll open up an underground zero-gravity club with friday-night raves. Underground too! expensive, I'm thinkin.
Uhhhh yaaaa I'd probably do it (go into space)...if it wasn't some crazy mission. I have no problem with submarines. I'd go in one anyday, catch me some evil bottom feeding fanged fish (with the light on its head?)! Yipes.

**joanofarc** · 11-15-2003, 12:59 PM

nah, but i always loved spaceballs the movie.

**Sijuki** · 11-15-2003, 01:19 PM

A trip to space? Oh hell yeah, sign me up. Any chance of us going to Mars? Just to see the solar system uninhibited by the atmostphere of earth. It must be so beautiful. To see home, oh so far away. I could wave to half the world at any one time. (hehe, or moon them). I would give... a lot, to be get prepped and hop on a ship to take the 3 yr journey to Mars to be the first human there.

To see what no one has seen firsthand. Take a couple pics of Olympus Mons, and the Face of Mars. Although I hear those sand storms suck ass.

Lol...

Funny, yet not out-of-the-question tho. Remember, the CIA conducted many experiments on LSD in the '50s, largely on unwitting "volunteers."

...Uh, don't get your hopes up though, I think they've stopped the testing long since now...

**worldwidemike** · 11-17-2003, 08:14 AM

Absolutely, 100% YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Earth is supposed to be absolutely beautiful when seen from space. The "blue marble" I think one astronaut called it...or maybe that term came from somewhere else. And the stars...picture the darkest, clearest night you've ever known, and looked up at the stars and the milky way, and said "Wow." Well, that is nothing compared to what they are supposed to look like from space with no atmosphere to dim them.

I love looking at nature's beauty when I travel, so there is no way I could pass this one up!

I don't know...

Anyways, before I visit another planet, I want to visit mine!!!

TheCross · 11-17-2003, 04:28 PM

It would be an awesome experience, but I would wait until the transportation becomes safer. I don't want die while I'm doing it.

i'd be closterphobic. no spaceships, no subs for me. talk about being out of your element.

if it were guarenteed safety tho... i could see myself going. born 1,000 years too early tho i guess.
