If they were offering space ship rides to the moon for free, would you go?

That's my biggest dream, to go up into space on the shuttle. So my answer is DEFINITELY YES!!! If someone told me I could only travel to one place in my lifetime, I'd chose space over every place here on earth I want to visit. I think it would be such an amazing experience!

That is actually a really hard question.

I am perfectly content right here on Earth, but then again, that is a once in a lifetime type thing. How many people can say they have been TO the moon?

I dont know though, I dont know if I could deal with the take off and re-entry. It looks pretty bumpy. I almost start crying on airplanes when we are going through minor turbulence. I am so scared that we will just fall right out of the sky.

Hard to tell. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance... but whenever I think of going to moon all the pops in my mind is things going horribly wrong, so probably not... but hey I can be unpredictable, so if it were offered... you never really know what I will say.

Definitely. Its not like I would be staying there forever.
Though I think the launch and return would be a bit hard.

And an airplane ride isnt all its cracked up to be. I was excited to when I got on a plane in chicago to go to houston. It took like forever to get things checked, then we had to wait three hours for the plane, and then we had to be squished in too small chairs and sit until they started to move, and then we "taxied" for a bit which is just the plane moving down the road and you have to go through like a bajillion turns to get wehre you are supposed to be... and the takeoff is cool though because the plane goes really fast and then takes off, but then you have like two hours of nothing but hot sun in the window (which burns really bad) and boring clouds to look at, not to mention you are stuck in a tiny seat for who knows how long. When you go down your ears feel uncomfortable and that isnt really any fun, but the landing is fun though you have to taxi again for like another half hour.

Its like a ride that looks to be real fun in an amusement park, but is uncomfortable and as gentle as a little kids ride.

I like turbulance though. Turbulance is fun.
