I mean, fuck yeah? Why the fuck wouldn’t you?
At this point, cynicism relating to institutions and society. Especially from a modern US perspective, it being something corporate and chances of being stranded/mismanaged or space poverty etc. Lack of any real understandable (and worthwhile) purpose for such a scenario even if you hand-wave away negatives. Personally, health stuff would also mean I’d never even be considered.
I guess maybe if you just consider it an experience thing, but even then I’m not so sure when it comes to cost and safety of launches. Lifetime supply of macaroni and cheese seems more likely, and even that might be too good to be true.
I don’t think we exist in a timeline where going to space will ever be as trivial as going on a cruise. (Though cruises are also questionable for their own reasons)
Yeah, I guess trusting the people behind the hardware and the people running the program is a big deal I didn’t think of. I guess my enthusiasm for such things blinded me to that reality.
Me? I’d still risk it for just ten minutes up there. Wouldn’t care if it killed me after. Hell, if I didn’t have people relying on me, I wouldn’t even care if I died on the trip up just because that would be a great ending. But you definitely popped my blind enthusiasm lol.
