Space tourism: to infinity and beyond? | From the Observer | The Observer

I think in 10 to 15 years time it would be a viable option without being that rich. What shall we do for the summer hols? 2 weeks in Europe or a day in space?

I will never, ever, go to space.

Space is for losers.

Yes but not with you.

I'd do it. I think I'd be scared ****less. About things going wrong and floating in space forever. But maybe not. Maybe it just feels fake, like you're in a room without gravity and the windows are just screens. Kind of how I feel with planes. But I'd really like to do this. Space fascinates me. Loser. Major Tom.

I'm kind of scared of space. I used to have recurring nightmares about being stranded, just floating around on my own... it just freaks me out. Also, I'd kind of want a longer period without space shuttles exploding on lift-off or re-entry - I feel like they don't really have that figured out for sure yet...

What lurks in the ocean scares me more than being in outer space. Something about not being able to see whats creeping up on you. In space you have a clear view of anything (theoretically) approaching.

Yeah, I would enjoy a space trip. It'd be pretty profound.
