I think many of us would like to fly in space, I mean, just to experience the weightlessness. But getting up there means sitting on top of a giant bomb, and Steve Buscemi's words from the film 'Armageddon' would be haunting me at that point:

"We're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder."
