In a hot second. It's the greatest wonder, to leave the planet and be a part of the bigger universe at large.

Nope.

Its not safe safe. And theres not much to do.

If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.

Get me a Millenium Falcon-sized interstellar freighter and a stable supply line, and I'll never set foot planetside again.

Absolutely, if I trusted the equipment. It would be incredible to be the first to discover something out there.

Yes!! With consumer space flight becoming an option, it would be a dream of mine to go into space!

Fuck yes.

I don't even need money, just give me a place to sleep, some food and access to some entertainment and I'll work for free if it means I get to explore space. Imagine seeing Jupiter with your own eyes and seeing the swirling clouds and the great red spot. Or getting to see a brown dwarf, or a rogue planet wandering through space without a star, or a chaotic three body system etc. The possibilities are endless and it's all absolutely fascinating!

Not with our current technology. It seems pretty dangerous still.

Of course, why? Why the f not?

[โ€“] MementoMori@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd be happy to help support others to get to space but I'll stay home. I just have no interest in it.

[โ€“] Kurt@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Unlikely. Too lonely out there.

I'm already exploring it. I just happen to travel on spaceship earth.
