I wouldn't risk my life on something like that. The technology doesn't seem to be at lest 99.9 percent safe. Even though the sites would be beautiful, its still not worth it.

Imagine this:

"Wow, what beautiful sites in the universe," you're thinking. "Jupiter is so huge!"
You're drifting and looking around. You've been in space for many weeks, contacting your friends by internet from your 1,000 square foot space RV.
"This is the best thing I've even done," you think. "Wait until they see what they missed! I better get a good shot of Jupiter's moons."
SWOOSH you hear. From your window, you see a large plate mass in front of you. Its the portion that contains your oxygen and supplies. Toothpaste, pens, and human waste float farther from you as seconds pass.
"NASA, come in NASA!" you shout into your headset-speaking device. "Can you hear me!?"
You hear static. Multiple noises come from all around you. Screws and other pieces are falling out from their proper place.
Then your window floats off. NASA still doesn't respond, making you panic and wet yourself. You feel cold and alone, doubting you'll ever make it back. The stench from your urine reaches you and makes you gag.
Oxygen is sucked from your lungs. No air; no space; no time. You feel claustrophobic.
You hold your breath, seeing Jupiter and the stars as symbols of death and destruction. You reach for the escape pit in the next room. The door to the pit wont open. No more static. The power is gone.
You can't hold your breath and try to breathe. Nothing. Your lungs pull on themselves. Your body increases in pain. You can't move. Moments later everything has gone black.

The government knows there was an error, but in an effort to try and stay not guilty, they say they haven't lost contact. Your family and friends find out from a truthful NASA member that you've passed. They hold a secret funeral in tears, wishing that you never went on that mission. "Its suicide" they warned, but you didn't listen.

Now that its too late, they hope that you soon rest in peace in the paradise of your religion.

Now would you go on a deep space mission?

Hmmn... how do I put this... If you, CinnamorollTK were part of NASA or the government, then I probably would have stayed in bed

Seriously, though, the only things I see, which I have to fear, in a deep space journey is loneliness and claustrophobia. If I'm ever gonna make the trip, I'd like an asteroid-sized craft hurtling through space instead of a small and cramped broom closet where I have to sleep with my knees hugged close to my chest.

I'd like some gravity too, 'coz weightlessness can be interestingly novel only for so long. Having an AI robot capable of human interactions would also be great, even if it's Marvin (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) or G.I.R. (Invader Zim)

I once read a booked called Yargo by Jacqueline Susann where a human girl, mistakenly picked up by a (supposedly) far more intelligent extraterrestrial race disabled from feeling emotions, has been sentenced to an exile in deep space. She was initially sentenced to death, to protect the secrets of the civilization from her "peasant running-mouth" but, probably out of respect for life, she was just sentenced to an exile. Well, there's more but that's all that's relevant right now

In the end, I suppose life in deep space is not too bad, so long as you bring all your amenities with you in an earth-sized handbag

Yep I would because then I my name would become immortal in the history book as I go farther then anyone has ever before and I get the chance to one with the universe as well. So if I was giving this opportunity to go their where no man has gone before I would do it.

I diffently would do it, even if it meant not coming back to Earth. I've always had a small facisnation for space and everything that is out there. Being able to see the other planets and go to them would be great! Well thinking about it while typing tyhis post I guess it would depend on when I would go. If I were to go now when I'm seventeen I don't think that I would. Maybe after I become 30-40+ but I'm to young now and have to continue experiencing another one of Mankinds mysterys... Woman..

Hey, look, I love life, and I don't care enough to go into space if I knew I wasn't coming back. Someone else can do that and be famous, but, eh, not for me...

I would definately do it!! NOT!!!!!!

There is absoultely no way I would do it... unless the whole of earth was doing it, and cellphones and internet and stuff came along... coz really... ud get bored. Also, the radiation... dont wana get cancers... NO WAY!

well i thought this topic was funny....especially the voting option. why? because i am curious and an adventurer by nature. i explore hoping i'll get lost just so i can try to find my way back. i love to experience to things and new places. if i were to visit outer space, i doubt i would ever return. i would be lost forever out there. it intrigues me though so is my exploration knowledge worth my life? i doubt it in this lifetime. too much good for me to do here on earth to be selfish and satisfy my curiosity on just one area of space. i'm still undecided though because sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me

Nope, guess I'm a chicken, what can I say. XD

But seriously, I'm not going to go on a one-way mission (Pointless) as I would see all this amazing stuff and never get to share it with anyone else or use my knowledge, so what would be the point of wasting my entire life on a deep-space trip.

I would go, provided I can come back! Exploring space has been one of my fantasies, but I don't fancy getting stuck in space forever!
