If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.

Mate, I won't explore my city because I'm afraid of crackheads. I'm definitely not locking myself with a bunch of crazy adrenaline addicts on a giant metal tube.

No.

Thanks.

[-] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

that would depend entirely on the era of space exploration we're talking about here.

traveling at high warp on in the late-24th century on the comfortable, galaxy-class starship enterprise? absolutely!

within the next 50 years, when the best we can do is a float in a tin can that we slingshot around planets and asteroids, with interplanetary trips in our own solar system taking months or years? no thanks!

Not until it's safe as commercial airliners. Then, sure.

[-] SamC@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Nah. There's fuck all there.

That's why it's called "space" and not "interesting shit"

[-] 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.

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

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Arfman@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] maniel@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Of course, why? Why the f not?

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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!

Unlikely. Too lonely out there.

[-] micahash@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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