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!

In a hot second. It's the greatest wonder, to leave the planet and be a part of the bigger universe at large.

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

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nope.

Its not safe safe. And theres not much to do.

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.

Nah. There's fuck all there.

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

[-] 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.

[-] 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.

If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.

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

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

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

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

Of course, why? Why the f not?

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