if you had the chance to go into outer space, would you take it?

fuck space

no, i would find it too scary. I'm scared of flying, although I still fly despite this, so being in a rocket that's taking off would be terror central for me.

no i would not, why because of http://www.gamebooks.org/gallery/cyoa071.jpg

oh hell yes of course i would

i really think it would be a boring place to go and would take too long, so no

i hear its the place

i think i might go. it would probably change my life, you know perspective and all that bulshit

but i would miss my studio and my loved ones

Results 1 - 10 of about 95,200,000 for has anyone ever had sex in space.

i would miss gravity and air

if you had the chance to go into outer space, would you take it?

"My God, it's full of SPACE VAMPIRES!"

This seems like the kind of question where you are obligated to say yes, because you would be a fool to turn down such an opportunity, even if you weren't keen on it.

Like, "if someone gave you a $1000 cookie, would you eat it?" Even if you don't like cookies, when's the next time you'll get a chance to eat a $1000 cookie?

If you haven't read it, one of the endings to that space vampire book is you yourself become a space vampire, and from the book's description, it's pretty rad.

THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS ASSHOLE

i don't feel obligated to say yes, i think it would actually be stupid to go

you're stupid

have you thought of that

space is awesome--i would go

WHY though, there's nothing there. it's space.

planets
stars
space octopuses
your anus

I would probably take the $1000 cookie over space. I really like cookies tho.

I tricked you. The $1000 cookie is actually space.

L-R: Point, Counterpoint

oh and to spoil the choose your own adventure book more, the way being a vampire was described sounded like being on a roid high.

OK, looking at Space Vampires cover, the vampire doesn't need to breathe, so he can be in the open airlock ok, but what's with the kids? Are they vampire kids? And doesn't the background indicate that, technically, the vampire is up and out during the daytime? TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

anyone who says no should just shoot themselves in the face

:(

(xxpost) according to the Daily Mail, they are feral vampire children committing knife crimes

er, and also on a note of realism, wouldn't that vampire be turned into a little pile of ashes by that huge frickin' sun behind him?

i was thinking about this last night and my first instinct was "nah, it's dangerous and would probably be really uncomfortable" and then i just told myself to quit being a puss, space is awesome and hardly anyone gets to go there

Like, "if someone gave you a $1000 cookie, would you eat it?" Even if you don't like cookies, when's the next time you'll get a chance to eat a $1000 cookie?

but the thought that someone might have invented a $1000 cookie makes me want to shiv a bitch?

i fucking love space - it is awesome and huge and gorgeous and an absolute beautiful mystery - but i would way rather they sent some more complicated probe out there than useless space-tourist me.

n/a inner monologue otm. the outdoors is dangerous too, probably shouldn't leave your apartment.

fuck that, i wanna go up there with a brew in one hand and my dick in the other

space the dopest frontier

well part of why it would suck is you'd have to be wearing a spacesuit--you could not have your dick in your hand even xp

id go if they guaranteed i wouldnt die - the safety record of people is space is right now not that good

i'm not that worried about it being dangerous i'd just rather be on earth is all

I would go but I wouldn't pay crazy money unless I had super-crazy money. I also wouldn't go with Russians.

I posit that the kind of people who would be willing to go to space don't care about death

Space travel has a pretty high death rate and just getting up there really stresses your body even if you have a safe trip, so it isn't all beer and skittles. Still, I'd be strongly tempted. Ain't nothing like it on earth.

Fuck yeah. Worth it just to experience a zero-g atmosphere.

Space accidents, either during operations or training for spaceflights, have killed 22 astronauts (five percent of all people who have been in space, two percent of individual spaceflights), and a much larger number of ground crew.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_accidents_and_incidents

you could not have your dick in your hand even xp

...and alcohol is banned in space

space vampire was dope. why has no one created online versions of the CYOA books??? i mean what have we been using the internet for all these years?

xxxp

how many times has tom hanks died

u can go zero g w/o space http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomit_Comet

when the cards are down and the chips are counted who the fuck wants to tbe the guy who says "oh ya, i could've gone to space, ya, for free and with like no hassle, but i said no - looked a bit uncomfortable"

not me

i want to be the guy that says, "royal flush" and takes all the chips

because im assuming were at a casino of some kind?

everybody who said no should be fired into space imo

because im assuming were at a casino of some kind?

maybe we all are; maybe life can be compared to a casino, that's what i'm saying.

well i hope i win

OIC, so the earth is Las Vegas and going into space is like wandering into the desert. You'll be surrounded by nothingness, but your old familiar place will over there in the distance looking all bright and glaring and kitschy. The mob loves it too, cuz no one can hear you scream.

I posit that the kind of people who would be willing to go to space don't care about death

seems like as good a place to die as any.

would totally wander in a desert, fear of dehydration and heat stroke is holding too many back in our modern lives.

well i hope i win

good attitude :)

i think some people have misread this thread title as "if you had the change to go into town on the bus, would you take it?

AWESOME would love to see what my home looked like FROM A BUS

change was a type, but somehow it works

type was a typo

I can show you what it would look like FROM AN AMBULANCE if you like. xxp.

a SPACE AMBULANCE that is

a spambulance

have never seen my house from a bus, it's off the bus route.

i am already in space always

i have never seen my house from a bus because to ride the bus is to begin the downward spiral which inevitably leads to self loathing space lust

why get your hopes up

it's grand for those that have the option

sadly if a lonely ilx space nerd and i went in a spaceship to space only i would be able to enjoy it - he so overwhelmed w/anticipation of a transformative experience - his mind racing w/fever dreams of someday meeting a credulous woman he could impress w/his incredible space narrative - he is so agitated when he looks out the space window he sees only his own vibrating neurosis looking back - i feel great pity for this creature as i drink my gin and tang gazing out at our lovely blue planet

what?

in space, no-one can hear ice cr?m

hey dude try saying the exact same thing another 50 times and maybe people will start agreeing with you

look who's dreaming up elaborate fantasies about how awesome it would be

elaborate fantasies about how awesome space travel would be

vs.

elaborate fantasies about acting all smug and self-aware in space

destroy elaborate fantasies?

i enjoy constructing elaborate fantasies to torment space nerds - they enjoy constructing elaborate fantasies to torment themselves - we are on the same space team

strawspacemen

best thread ever btw

very appropriate new handle shakey

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i wld go into space x100000!!
as long as i could come back
and as long as when i came back the earth isn't overrun by ape men

but i guess we take our chances

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

...and alcohol is banned in space

Not quite true. Russian and Ukranian cosmonauts have routinely brought vodka up to the ISS. NASA is a dry county though.

FWIW, I would go into space x100000 too.

If I don't go to space in this lifetime, I will certainly go there after they thaw me out and revive me. 100% yes.

dead man spacewalking

one big step closer to commercial space flight

one-way ticket, plz

Is there an option where I shoot everyone else into space instead?
