Would you want to visit the International Space Station?

No, I’d be terrified of dying on the way to/from it, and prefer the resources needed go to something else, such as buying up land needed for wildlife habitat to prevent human encroachment and extinction of species.

I think a space hotel is a dumb idea at this point given the needs of our planet, but I don’t think it’s a criminal idea. If those with insane wealth want to do that, there are worse things they could be doing with their wealth, such as buying politicians and laws. And in general I am in favor of some investment in good space technology.

Uhhh, I did a google search of this and Washington post is the only one saying it’s Trump that wants to do it? Every other source I’m finding is saying it’s Russia?

Correct me if I am wrong though.

That’s a big nope for me. I’m claustrophobic. You’ll also never catch me scuba diving or in a submarine.

If Russia wants to do that I don’t care as long as it doesn’t become America’s problem. And no, I wouldn’t visit it.

America’s problem finacially^ to be more specific.

Politics aside, I wouldn’t want to go.

~ ~ ~ Trump must have bought an option from Putin to name the hotel “Trump Towers”.

Just incredible how little humans value scientific endeavour and technological advancement, especially considering that space travel is vital to your species’ long term survival.
The russian budget for its space programme is only 1/7th of the amount they spend on their military.
For the colonies, it is even less, only 2.2% of what they spend on their war machine.
But oh no, it’s sooooooo expensive.
You humans are all pathetic.

No. I have a terrible fear of flying and heights, and have no intention of ever leaving this planet.

@ragingloli You’re so lucky you’re not human!

No. I’m too tall for the space suit. If they could accommodate my height and weight than maybe. I wouldn’t pay more than $5,000 for a week.

In a hot New York minute! I would love that.

And I am excited that people are seriously working on space elevators and orbital tethers and such, I’m just sorry they probably won’t be around in time for me to use them.

With the public money ($100,000,000,000+ in US taxpayer dollars so far) already put into it – fuck no! Privately held commercial enterprises already get fed off the public tit enough down here on Earth.

It would cost far more than I could afford and I wouldn’t want to go anyway. Very cramped and uncomfortable and then there’s the zero gravity toilets.

@flutherother Lending new meaning to the crude expression “shit-faced”?

@janbb You should have read the instructions first.

@flutherother Instructions are too small for my old eyes to read them!

No. I would keep hearing the song “Major Tom” in my head. Also I’m afraid of heights.

@chyna Not “Rocket Man”?

Well, both died, so yes, Rocket Man too.

^^ Who the hell are you then? Come out, come out whoever you are.

the fuck

You wish we had sexually assaulted you. Punk.

Profile flagged.

I sexually harass a lot of people. I can not remember half the names.

Clean up in Aisle 2!!

@filmfann: I didn’t address the detail part, sorry. The whole “who owns/runs it” thing would of course be a consideration for me. I just got so excited at the thought of the possibility of it. :-)

I would like to visit if someone gives me a free ride..)

No, thanks. I don’t even like going up in an elevator.

I would not want to be on the ISS. But if I could get up high enough to see the curvature of the earth and experience weightlessness for a few hours I would sucks some dicks for that.

I would like to go, but it is not worth the time and money it would take. I would like to see the space station from the outside and to see what it is like to live inside, but I don’t have any burning desire to do so.
