Re: This is really out there, but with proper training, would you want to go into space?

Not unless I could get back to sleep in my own bed that night -- don't really enjoy traveling and have decided I never want to fly again -- not even the plane -- the airport lines, waiting, running between gates and especially having flight delayed for hours or downright canceled.

Absolutely not, and I have flown in planes many times, but this is different. There's always that element of 'can I really get back'. Then I don't like the way astronauts have to do bathroom procedures, and what if you get that feeling on your skin that triggers the desire to scratch? Yes, I used the word but the board monitor kept telling me that I used the b word.

Nope. Not unless I could be tethered to earth somehow! Nope.

Oh no, I don't think there is enough training to get the fear of flying, heights and touch of claustrophobia out of me. I'm an earth sign, through and through.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Me, too, Bird Mama, though I love to star gaze. But visit one? Very afraid of heights, and my brother once asked: "Well, what will you do if you ever reach Heaven?" I told him I would never look down! {#emotions_dlg.blush}

I Would love too if I was younger but wait. I am so claustrophobic. They would have too sedate me.
