I've loved aircraft, space flight and the like since I was a little kid (I remember when the space program began...man I feel old...lol) but I hate to fly. Weird, huh? It's the machinery involved that really interests me, but I'm much happier with my feet on the ground.
I'd only go up if I personally built the craft myself. With all the egg-heads working at NASA and JPL, they still haven't been able to build a truly reliable ship. But yeah...I'll go up one day. I'll be the first redneck to launch an F-150 into orbit.
You only live once, and if you do survive, which you probably will, think of the stories you could tell your kids and grandkids. That would be a once in a lifetime opportunity that I wouldnt pass up.
I'm afraid of heights, and i'm midly claustrophobic (sp)...but if i had a free ticket to go, you better bet i'd be there as fast as i could. Thats one of my biggest dreams!
I'm deathly afraid of heights. There's no way I'd go. If the ride didn't kill me, the heart attack I had getting there would.
Give me my smokes, fast cars/trucks, and anything else I can do on the ground to chance life and I'm there. Put me in anything that goes up and I freak - heck, I can't even do a ferris wheel without freaking out. Air travel, I'll do it when I have to, but I'm one of those white knuckled passengers..................hate it..........
BTW - I didn't vote because the fear of heights thing wasn't there and the other options didn't seem to fit.
