I'm not all that thrilled about doing space travel either.

I want to go into space more than almost anything... to float weightless, to see the moon and stars without the interference of an atmosphere. I keep rooting for the "space tourists", hoping that by the time I get to be 60 or so the cost of taking a tour in space will have come down enough that I can afford it.

As I type this I'm watching "From the Earth to the Moon" on HBO. For anyone who wants to see science fiction become real, I highly recommend this series (and it's out on video now so you don't have to buy HBO to see it).

I don't like airplanes that much, so a rocket seems kind of out of the question. If space ships ever become everyday reliable it'd be nice to see what you describe. I have too much love for too much and too many here on earth to want to leave permanently, though.

I'll check out that series next time at Blockbuster.

This is fun talking about books and SF.
