How badly do you want to go to space?

How strong is your desire to go to space? Are you willing to take all the risks involved with space travel? Would you be willing to take a trip that may very well be a one way trip?

I think that if I could make it into orbit around our planet and then something devastating happened to the ship I could die happily. I’d love the opportunity to travel further but just the idea of making it outside of earths atmosphere would satisfy a life goal.
