Would you go on the next shuttle flight ?

Ok, here is a poll that I think might be interesting. If you were given the chance of a free place on the next shuttle mission, would you accept the offer?

Personally I'd risk it!

I'd much prefer to fly Soyuz, if I had a chance to go to the ISS- no fatal accidents since 1971! (And that one wouldn't have occurred if the crew had been wearing spacesuits...)

However, if the shuttle was the only way I could go there, i'd probably take it!

OF COURSE I WOULD!!! If I had to die, I prefer to die in the space, going to space, or coming back from space, rather than here on earth...



BYW: why is it called STS-114? they dont know that after 107 comes 108? :lol:
