Nope. Anyone romanticizing space exploration should play Pioneer or Evochron Legacy. Space is vast and boring to travel.
what’s the worst that could happen
You’re lost in space and couldn’t return to earth?
Do I get this weird, puffy-looking robot that goes “Danger!!” every time it spots any?
Sure why not. Seems like a fun.
God, no. That thing with the submersible shows we can’t even explore our own ocean without exploding.

To be fair, in space we would explode.
that’s true
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.
Absolutely. To have the chance at being the first to see and experience what’s out there? Oh yes.
That depends entirely on the quality of the space ship.
Space shuttle? Fuck that janky shit
Starship enterprise? Fuck yea sign me up imma fuck all the Andorian hookers
For non-trekkers’ context: Andorian Hooker.
Oh right. I thought they meant this kind
And thus, a cross-franchise meme was born…
Which Enterprise though? There have been at least 9 (not counting the Enterprise-J).
Really the NX-01 or better would be great
Nice
I’m going to go with Voyager or newer because of that sweet warp 9.9. I’d rather get to my destination a bit faster than NX-01’s warp 5. But if I had the option of NX-01 and not exploring space, I’d definitely go NX-01.
Nope.
Its not safe safe. And theres not much to do.
Only if I had some kind of hyperspace travel, stargate or instantaneous travel, combined with a long lifespan. Space is huge and mostly empty, I don’t want to be waiting around for years to get somewhere to find out there’s nothing there.
No. Space is generally huge, empty, and boring. Everything of interest to me is on earth.
You need to define “space”.
I’d go up to Earth orbit, definitely. It would feel cool to fall for longer than a few seconds.
I’d like to see the Moon in my lifetime. They are going to have to solve the moondust issue so that I don’t get miner’s lung.
Mars is going to be rough. Several years on a spaceship to a planet I can’t breathe the atmosphere on. And maybe I can come back, maybe.
I’m ok seeing Venus and Mercury from photos.
Fuck yes. But it has to be a fast ship I ain’t moseying around the galaxy in hibernation like a sublight chump.
Me, personally? Fuck no. I’m perfectly happy staying on this planet for the entirety of my life. Space travel is too risky, and I don’t really see how going to space would make my life any better. I will leave space exploration to people that are smarter and more adventurous than myself.
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.
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).
