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.

God, no. That thing with the submersible shows we can’t even explore our own ocean without exploding.

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.
Space is the only thing you can explore. You’re in space right now.
Nope. Anyone romanticizing space exploration should play Pioneer or Evochron Legacy. Space is vast and boring to travel.
Absolutely. To have the chance at being the first to see and experience what’s out there? Oh yes.

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).

No. Space is generally huge, empty, and boring. Everything of interest to me is on earth.
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!
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.
This is interesting. It’s said that the human species is the smartest animal in its ability to adapt, explore, invent tools etc etc. but in reality it’s far from the norm. The avg human is not creative, couldn’t adapt to its surrounding, or build anything. No normal Humans can invent fire, the wheel, computers, spaceships etc. humans did not invent or discover things, super humans did all the work.
I think you’re underestimating the intelligence of average people. There’s definitely a lack of knowledge, but average people are plenty smart to invent everything you’ve listed. It just takes time and is an iterative process.
Not with what we currently have for technology and knowledge. So not in my lifetime will that be a practical option.
Why not?
There’s nothing here on Earth holding me back, so why the fuck not explore the universe?
Even understanding the vast, vast, vast empty nature of the universe, I don’t see why or h9w I could say no.
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.
