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.

In a hot second. It's the greatest wonder, to leave the planet and be a part of the bigger universe at large.
Nope.
Its not safe safe. And theres not much to do.
that would depend entirely on the era of space exploration we're talking about here.
traveling at high warp on in the late-24th century on the comfortable, galaxy-class starship enterprise? absolutely!
within the next 50 years, when the best we can do is a float in a tin can that we slingshot around planets and asteroids, with interplanetary trips in our own solar system taking months or years? no thanks!
If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.

I'd be happy to help support others to get to space but I'll stay home. I just have no interest in it.
Not with our current technology. It seems pretty dangerous still.
If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.
Get me a Millenium Falcon-sized interstellar freighter and a stable supply line, and I'll never set foot planetside again.
I'm already exploring it. I just happen to travel on spaceship earth.
Unlikely. Too lonely out there.
Of course, why? Why the f not?
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!
Yes!! With consumer space flight becoming an option, it would be a dream of mine to go into space!
Absolutely, if I trusted the equipment. It would be incredible to be the first to discover something out there.
