No, it's extremely hostile to humans and getting there is even more dangerous.
In a hot second. It's the greatest wonder, to leave the planet and be a part of the bigger universe at large.
I'm already exploring it. I just happen to travel on spaceship earth.
Of course, why? Why the f not?
Nah. There's fuck all there.
That's why it's called "space" and not "interesting shit"

Yes!! With consumer space flight becoming an option, it would be a dream of mine to go into space!

Get me a Millenium Falcon-sized interstellar freighter and a stable supply line, and I'll never set foot planetside again.
Absolutely, if I trusted the equipment. It would be incredible to be the first to discover something out there.
Unlikely. Too lonely out there.

I'd be happy to help support others to get to space but I'll stay home. I just have no interest in it.
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!
Not with our current technology. It seems pretty dangerous still.
