Yes! It would be the experience of a life time and I wouldn't miss the chance. Where do I sign up?

With the high price of gas these days, I would take a freebie trip to my neighborhood 7 eleven....
Absolutely---no second thought about it...I would take a once in a lifetime trip on the space shuttle......

As a kid I would have said yes. But now that I am an adult, I realize it is a glorified bus trip. The space shuttle isn't what I would call spacious or roomy. So being cramped in a bus for several weeks doesn't sound fun to me. Especially since I can see the earth using Google Earth.

I hate going off of the ground at any height so the space shuttle is not for me. I'd give my ticket away, probably to my son, who loves space and everything about it.
Or I'd sell it, keep some of the money and give most of it away to a charity that uses money to help people, not to pay high salaries to the directors. And it would have to be a local charity, not somewhere overseas.

No, judged by my one freebie trip in an early biplane. The buildup to doing it was very exciting, but the thing itself was a terrific letdown. I had to be strapped in, the wind was so strong I had to hold my glasses clamped on and it was so loud I am sure my hearing was damaged by it. Oh, and all this fun, which lasted about 20 minutes, ended up making me dizzy and sick.
I'm a very bad candidate for anything like this.

in a heart beat, I would LOVE to do something like that. I would also be interested in how weightlessness might impact Fibromyalgia and other structural problems with the human body. To see the earth from outer space would be one of the most fantastic experiences I could imagine.
I am clautraphobic but God willing I could handle it because the reward would be so great.

Yes. I've always wanted to go into outer space. I wish they had space camp for adults. Imagine, being able to see the Earth from a different perspective, and the blackness of space. It must be awesome.

I would be forced to accept. It would be an offer I could not refuse.
I would spend many hours praying so that I would not spend my entire space trip shaking and whimpering in fear. I get afraid on a farris wheel. I would make a terrific astronaut.

Nope, I'd have to leave that adventure to others. Don't like flying regular planes, much less a space shuttle!
