Well, do you? Apparently 60% of the population does. But check out this news story, it rules:

Yes and no. I'm enamored with the idea of space travel, but at this time it's probably a little too stressful for me . . . I'm scared of both flying and heights.

I'd love it except the fact is will only cost a billion dollars.

Im not really being serious about whether or not you want to go to space, more of a catchy title to house the awesome news story.

Ive met Burt Rutan in person before. He spoke at my high school, and a group of 6 of us went and talked to him after the lecture for like 30 minutes. We had a very interesting conversation, where he ended up offering all 6 of us jobs in his company! He didnt care that we hadnt even graduated high school!

I would like to space travel but I'm too scared of dying.

I would love to! If somehow we made a Starship navy and got to that point, I would quit my job and sign up!
