first it was a dog, then man, then woman, then a black man, how can I be the first fat man in space?

Question

I am willing to undertake this dangerous mission for my country

Answer 1

Stick with me baby and I'll take you to Uranus and back xxx

Answer 2

I don't think colour or race or creed comes into it, but size & health does.
I am the right shape to fit into a spacecraft & suit, but I doubt if they will take on a 51yr old Geordie, although I can fly and not bother about the biggest rides.
Just not the right stuff.
I would be willing to join you on any space mission for my country, perhaps my one-legged best freind could come along ?

Bob.

Answer 3

The main governing factor is acceleration. Your heart which is already taxed by your obesity would never survive the prolonged period of g forces experienced on the space shuttle. No doctor would ever approve your request.

NASA's Space Shuttle, officially called Space Transportation System (STS), is the United States government's current manned launch vehicle.
...
Finally, in the last tens of seconds of the main engine burn, the mass of the vehicle is low enough that the engines must be throttled back to limit vehicle acceleration to 3 g, largely for astronaut comfort.

Answer 4

If you are on the idea of being an astronaut, then I am sorry, but I doubt that NASA or any other space agency (or space tourism agency) will allow an over wight man like yourself into space. Because as you are not in prime shape and health, space-environment will take a damaging affect on your body. Especially on 'lift off'. Due to the extra mass, your body may not survive being blasted into space.

Sorry. =[

Answer 5

Well first of all we may have to strap a couple extra booster rockets on the ole' space shuttle and fill the hold with grub and we won't have room for any real experiments but I'm sure we can at least get you into outer space. Then you could create your own eclipse. We might have to slap on an extra layer of heat tiles to get you back down to earth but I'm sure NASA could do it.

Answer 6

I don't think you'd be able to fit in the payload bay of the shuttle... even if they take out the extra equipment.

Plus, your size will make you a gravitational nightmare, you'll be bending the light from stars when you're up there.

Stick to pondering the mysteries of time and space eating Cheetos and scratching yourself.

Honestly, what a dumb question!

Answer 7

I'm afraid you might reach critical mass, implode causing a chain rection, your atoms would start fusing releasing a massive amount of energy and you would become a second Sun orbiting the planet. Then the rate of global warming would increase causing wide spread flooding, death and famine.
For the sake of the planet and not just your country forget it.

Answer 8

Most people seem to think you are serious!!! The obvious answer is - buy yourself a nice big rocket, sit comfortably on it, get someone to light the blue touch-paper (you won't be able to reach it) and say goodbye. You'll be a whole lot thinner later!

Answer 9

If you really want to, then go cut off like 99% of ur body and then the fuel efficiency will be still so bad, you'd have to make ur own "FAT" rocket.

Answer 10

There is nothing unique about a fat man as far as space is concerned

Answer 11

I think NASA would rather put 4 skinny people up there than you. They will save in lift-off fuel and will not need as many of those freeze-dried packages of Tang.

You might need to file an anti-discrimination suit to get your place in the heavens.
