Space is the only thing you can explore. You’re in space right now.
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.
God, no. That thing with the submersible shows we can’t even explore our own ocean without exploding.

To be fair, it’s much easier to build a capsule that can withstand 1 bar of negative pressure than to build a submarine that can withstand 350 bar of positive pressure.
Of course, the terrifying part with space flight is that your capsule then has to be strapped to a gigantic tower full of exploding rocket fuel designed to hurl you into space on a very specific trajectory with very small margins of error.

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.
Mate, I won’t explore my city because I’m afraid of crackheads. I’m definitely not locking myself with a bunch of crazy adrenaline addicts on a giant metal tube.
No.
Thanks.
Absolutely. To have the chance at being the first to see and experience what’s out there? Oh yes.
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!
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.
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.
Having grown up with TMNT as long as I get some technology from Dimension X I’m in.
Yes — assuming it is safe — I have a family to support and care for (so have to think of them, too).
I want to see what’s there — and see it first hand for myself.
Similar reason why I travel to different parts of the world to see things.
I think this is more than just curiosity.
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.
Fuck yes.
I don’t even need money, just give me a place to sleep, some food and access to some entertainment and I’ll work for free if it means I get to explore space. Imagine seeing Jupiter with your own eyes and seeing the swirling clouds and the great red spot. Or getting to see a brown dwarf, or a rogue planet wandering through space without a star, or a chaotic three body system etc. The possibilities are endless and it’s all absolutely fascinating!
Not with what we currently have for technology and knowledge. So not in my lifetime will that be a practical option.
I’m already exploring it. I just happen to travel on spaceship earth.
