Nope. Anyone romanticizing space exploration should play Pioneer or Evochron Legacy. Space is vast and boring to travel.
Not until two criteria are met, the first being we got space mostly figured out to the point where it takes a lot for us to lose a well maintained ship, the second being our physical abilities are enhanced to the point where our life is extended and we are protected by nanites or something similar to deal with whatever microbiology we might face out there, as well as anything else.
what’s the worst that could happen
As much as I love astronomy and find it awe inspiring I have to say no. With current technology not at all.
I am neither physically fit nor mentally capable enough to stand space travel.
When I think about actually being in space I always imagine standing inside a space ship/station, putting my hand on the wall and knowing that like a meter or so away there’s deadly, pitch black, unending abyss. Just a meter of relatively fragile material separating me from virtually infinite death. It just feels so antithetical to human life (at least on an instinctual level). It kinda makes me think of cosmic horror too (in the subdued way in which it was portrayed in a good chunk of Lovecraft’s stories, not in the more visual and physical way it’s usually shown nowadays).
Try millimetres for wall thickness
Depends. Star Trek style? Maybe. 1960s Soviet style? Hell No!
Ironic. Star Trek is communist.
No, not If i had to leave my wife and kids here on earth, but if its like family Robinson in space (without getting lost) i would say yes!
Depends on the level of technology we are using. If we’re zapping around from one habitable planet or interesting space phenomenon to another star trek style then absolutely yes! But a hard no with our current level of technology. I like to spend my time in an environment that’s actually somewhat friendly to life.
Space is BIG and light speed travel isnt possible. Assuming we solve the lack of gravity and radiation problems, currwntly we could barely explore our solar system.
If we are talking explore space in a science fictional manner, then sure.
If I had a robot body I could see myself sailing out, feeling the solar wind on my face, meeting up with fellow travelers in the remote desolation of space. How many centuries could you spend?
that would depend entirely on the era of space exploration we’re talking about here.
traveling at high warp on in the late-24th century on the comfortable, galaxy-class starship enterprise? absolutely!
within the next 50 years, when the best we can do is a float in a tin can that we slingshot around planets and asteroids, with interplanetary trips in our own solar system taking months or years? no thanks!
Yes because I want to float around in Zero G and look at the Earth from the moon. Then jump around the moon and dunk.
I would like to, I think it would be fascinating. I suppose it depends who the rest of the crew is?
Unfortunately, I’d feel so incredibly cut off from the rest of humanity which feels rather weird to me.
Probably not physically but if I get to upload my brain or somehow recreate a copy of my consciousness to the ship computer, hella yes.
Yeah, but I’m a choosing begger. It’s not with current technology.
I need some Cowboy Beebop style shit.
Then I’m in.
Having grown up with TNG, hard agree. If we get to a Starfleet-style space navy, then I’m in.
No, it’s extremely hostile to humans and getting there is even more dangerous.
