Hey, a good theme for a change.

If you had the chance to travel into space, would you take it?

Most definitely. I’ve been fascinated by space since I was a very small child. As a matter of fact for the longest time I wanted to work for NASA. I like to look up at the stars and try to wrap my mind around the sheer size of space. It makes me feel so small. I’m always amused by how big and important some people feel. But really, in the grand scheme of things we are but tiny, insignificant specks. In our own little world we may be important, we may make a huge difference on this earth, but as far as EVERYTHING goes, we matter but a tiny bit. We cannot change anything outside of our own little worlds. Space, to me, represents everything that is beyond my control, beyond my grasp. It represents everything that has been, and everything that will be. I love to think about what other life forms may have existed before us on other planets, what life forms exist in other universes? What other life forms sit and ponder what other life forms exist in other universes???!! What will exist after we no longer exist, will we no longer exist? There’s also the curiosity of could humans somehow survive the inevitable destruction of the earth and live to SEE what happens. I think these things are exciting to ponder and to actually have the opportunity to go into space would be too awesome.

That and of course, how cool would it be to chill in zero gravity for awhile. I’ve always wanted to experience zero gravity. lol, I always thought it would be too cool to like chase food around the aircraft like you see people doing on TV. 🙂

I would definitely go into space given the chance.
