Re: Would You Go On a Space Flight?

Yes.  One of my absolute favorite sensations is a takeoff on an airplane.  Cannot imagine what it would be like headed to space.

Well right this moment, in many homes, Alexa could take over the house and lock the doors, turn up the thermostat, blast you with polka music, prank call all your friends, and put you on autoship for a metric ton of chicken nuggets...

@Sweetbay magnoliaAt age 81, doubt if I'd even qualify.  Were I in my 20s->50, absolutely.

@Porcelain , good point!  To think we could see that stuff coming back in the '60s, and before.

Re: Would You Go On a Space Flight?

Husband I were just talking about that...we both said yes, but I do think I'd be frightened...maybe a simulation would be better for me instead of going into space.

Re: Would You Go On a Space Flight?

@Sweetbay magnolia Absolutely not!!!  This question reminds me of an old saying I have heard all my life, if God had intended for me to fly he would have given me wings.

Re: Would You Go On a Space Flight?

I've said the same thing, @Boomernichols , and was told well, then, if I were meant to drive why didn't I have wheels?  That was a no-win!

@Sweetbay magnolia Some folks would be argumentative, regardless!  There is one in every crowd, just another saying that comes to mind....wink, wink.
