Actually, I agree with you... I don't like flying in airplanes, and I wouldn't want to leave Earth permanently. But I'd put up with a rocket flight for the chance to see a view like this:
Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet ---

We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the friendly skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.

--Robert Heinlein, "The Green Hills of Earth"

I'm having fun discussing this too! But it's bedtime for me, so this will do for a nightlight I think.
