Would you goto space for 3 days?
Discussion
Next month the inspiration 4 mission takes off where 4 civilians get to go into space for 3 days

Would you take one of their seats?
I mean who wouldn't want to spend
3 days shoved into a small caravan with 3 other strangers with no shower and everyone has to take a crap in a henry the hoover type device. With the added fun of constant motion sickness.
And you can't open a window to get rid of the farts
In case you hadn't worked it out
I'm in the no thanks camp

t commander, you could organise the first space mutiny. 
Would be amazing - I'd definitely go.
I slightly worry that once sitting atop a giant firework on what is essentially the biggest rollercoaster out there I *might* have a panic and start shouting 'get me off I don't wanna go' like a five year old child on the horsey ride. But assuming I swallowed my fear, I think it would be a hell of a thing to do.
Yep, as long as they have the SCE to AUX switch in case lightning strikes on the launch.
Also, you'd eat a low residue diet in advance so that you wouldn't need a dump during the time.
Jim Lovell was with Frank Borman on a two week Gemini flight. After a week Jim said to Frank, "it's no good, I gotta go" to which Borman replied "Can't you hold on for just seven more days?"

Think you've summed up my thinking there too.I slightly worry that once sitting atop a giant firework on what is essentially the biggest rollercoaster out there I *might* have a panic and start shouting 'get me off I don't wanna go' like a five year old child on the horsey ride.

When Bezos, Branson etc have been talking about 'going into space' for all this time I always assumed it would involve them spending a bit of time up there orbiting around and stuff... I was distinctly underwhelmed when I saw that all they did was go straight up and down and it all being over in a couple of minutes, little more than glorified fireworks.
