I know that we are facing some really interesting times right now! I'm no space wizard and I don't know all the workings of the Universe but one thing I definitely have an interest in is space travel! I know that Richard Branson is planning on taking passengers into space when his space craft is ready. There's no way that I can afford this and I think it would be far too expensive for your everyday character as it were! However, I'm pretty sure that this new craze will eventually become a lot cheaper in time! Are you interested? Wouldn't you just love to experience this for yourself and go through weightlessness? I think a trip to the moon would be nice, escape from the Earth for a little bit!

Hi Iram, good luck with your studies in astronomy! I would love to get out there into space myself but I'm thinking and wondering if this will ever happen within my life time! It's seems so impossible right now but I'm hoping that the price hits rock bottom so that your everyday folk can get on up there as well. I love watching those space documentaries on discovery science from time to time. Andrew

It certainly would be an adventure to experience if you have the money! What I find so baffling about it is this:
The astronauts have to spend hours upon hours of training to get themselves adjusted to life in outerspace. Being able to handle the G-force and zero gravity. Yet......pretty soon the average person is going to be allowed to go into space without any training whatsoever? This I find incrdulous! Apart from all that it does sound like a very attractive adventure to be sure!

This is something very unique and very exciting as well I would have thought. I just wish that I had the funds available to do something like that. I will keep the dream alive that I may achieve this one day! That's life! Andrew

It's a great idea and it's time has come . It's just that it's too very expensive right now and only a few can think about it. But in the near future i'm sure that we will see an increase in it as the cost reduces. To the moon and back- Sounds fantastic.

That would be a wonderful journey! I would love to go to the moon and collect some moon dust! Still, as you say it's extremely expensive and only for the select few right now! Things may change in time and this is what I am hoping! Andrew

Apart from the fact that I don´t have the money and I´m too old, I really never was interested in that kind of travel although all the money I can save goes to travelling.
But I like to travel so that I see other people, other cultures. I would feel very lonely in the space. My mom, on the other hand, always said that she would love that. Only this year, at 85 years of age, she gave up on the thought, saying that maybe she was too old and sick.
I love the Earth. I don´t want to escape.
Take care!

Well, they say you are never too old to do anything!. I like the idea of going to the moon and introducing baseball there or something of that nature!. I love the Earth but space flight would be a whole new experience I think! That's life! Andrew
