I think it is important to be impressed by a vehicle that can move at Mach 25. I don't care who you are... that's still pretty stinkin' fast. :-)
I'd do it in a heartbeat. One of the astronauts once said the he'd still go even if the odds were only 50/50 of surviving the trip. I have to say that I would agree with that.
I'd go. Give me 50/50 or better odds of coming back... and I'm up for it. Just the decent chance of getting into space... and I'm there.
Me, too. Get me a seat by the window and I'm on. Would love to retire to the Moon.
