Blog Prompt: On May 29, 1996, Space Shuttle STS 77 (Endeavour 11), lands. Would you want to take a ride on the Space Shuttle? Why or why not?
No, I would not like to go into space. I’m okay with looking at space and watching the stars but I don’t have any desire to strap my body in a vessel that goes faster than the speed of anything and could blow me up into smithereens to go somewhere I know does not have enough oxygen for me to breathe without a machine. I’m not an explorer and do not want to go where “no man has gone before.” I have no problem letting other people go and do this for many years before I would even think about doing this. I guess I’m glad planes have been flying for many years before I ever got one. If I die before I ever get to ride in one I will be okay with that.

I guess my biggest problem about being in space for awhile, is potty time. I just don't like the idea of how they take care of that for women. hehehe
I guess I can say 'yes' so easily because I know it's never gonna happen...I'm really a bit of a chicken in real life :) LOL
