fuubi: I think a space hotel will come much sooner than 50 years. To answer your question… For me, it would depend on the quality of life for those extra 500+ years. If I could be this age for about 450 years, I think that would be OK.

Yeah, I’d go, but maybe I’d wait until the first space station hotel is built (and tested for kinks & spacebugs & stuff). I probably need to wait 50 more years or so, but that just gives me another reason to sign up as a guinea pig for the dozens of Methuselah projects that’s bound to be out there.

That’s actually a good question:

Would you guys risk horrible, painful death for a chance of extending your lifespan by, say, a factor of ten?

joe,
Our Malaysian government just sent our first astronaut to space last year with Russian and NASA and stay for several days at ISS (International Space S?)

They just paid hundred million Ringgit which equal to 20 -30 million dollar for that trip. Of course they did some RnD up there :)

If this Spaceship2 can bring us up there, for only 600 thousand Ringgit, wow
everyone can go to space now..I can be no the 2 MALAYSIAN that go to space
hahahahahah

David: Agreed. I knew I was going as soon as it looked like it would happen in my life time.

Les: I don’t want to reach the end of my life having never gone into space if the opportunity becomes available and within reach. Also congrats on the non-smoking bit. I used Chantix to kick the habit and it made it so easy, although I still think about it now and then (4 months, 3 days).

Webduck: I have no idea when Star Trek came out (not much of a fan), but my wife just about grinned her face right off when they showed the Star Trek movie trailer right before Cloverfield.

Simple Mindz: OK.. I’m saving you a seat, too. Hmm. Maybe they’ll seat more than 6 by 2017.
