    No, not really. I have a lot more interesting places to visit that are closer. Perhaps after I've visited those places, I'll reconsider, but I have to see the temples at Karnak first.

    Oh Yeah...me me me!!! I wanna go....make them take me, I wanna go!!!!!

    Ok, over that bit now. Yes I would very much like to go to the moon, I suppose that I have been reading SF for so long that going to the moon is only the first step...next Mars, then extra solar....the stars....(she says with the stars in her eyes)

    No, I think it would be boring. Mars would be exciting.

    I don't want to go to the moon persay but I always thought it would be intersting to be able to see the earth from outer space... not enough to become an astronaut or pay a lot of money for but... its one of those silly "that would be nice" dreams that never come true.

    No, I enjoy the beauty of THIS planet up close, not as 'the scenery' from afar. I want to see green and blue, and flowers and water. I want to smell things and fell rain and sunshine on my skin. I don't want a dry dusty crust while wearing a full body suit and a big helmet on my head giving me bad hair. I'd rather be on a motorcycle with a helmet, zooming along highway 1 on the west coast of California with the ocean breezes and the salty air.

    Yes, 1/6 the gravity - that would be amazing. The moon isn't really able to just sustain life. You would really have to trust the artificial environment you were living in.

    Absolutely. I would like to experiment and explore all potential travel opportunities. I would love to see the actual views I've seen in photographs. I would love to bounce in the light gravity. And I'd enjoy the bragging rights I would have. Yes, I would go to the moon.

    I do want to go to the moon. In the sixties when the first spaceships were going up, anyone remember Laika? I watched and was amazed and was convinced by the time I was thirty space tourism would be a fact. But the cold war intervened and more money was put into WMD's than space exploration, so I will probably never get there now, but what a dream!!

    Yes, why not. I would go just to see the Great Wall Of China and to float about from here to there and from there to here and from here to there and so on.

    Barring the necessary capital, I think we're technologically capable of building a fine self-sustaining colony on the moon, specifically underground. Without an atmosphere and ozone layer blocking out solar energy, and without constraints on the surface area used to build the solar panel arrays, an underground moon colony could easily survive (in terms of energy needs) with simply solar (supplemented with chemical batteries for storing excess absorbed energy for during the periods of darkness or in case of emergencies). Lunar "soil" contains metal and mineral deposits, and oxidized substances, which could be extracted for breathable air and building supplies - our own CO2 and wastes could be recycled into fresh air and water, and hydroponically grown genetically engineered blue green algae could supply our food reserves. Buried deep enough, you could maintain a virtually perfect safety from radiation and falling debris, such as meteorites.

    In some ways, living on the moon, if done right, could be a LOT safer than living on the Earth. It is geologically dead, so no fear of "moonquakes" or volcanic activity, or dangerous weather conditions such as tsunamis or hurricanes. Launching into space from the much lighter gravity well would be equally easier. The downsides would be probably giving up some of the creature comforts of Earth, and eventually being unable to return to Earth due to muscle atrophy in the much lower lunar gravity. The great upsides that ultimately would make me want to go to (and live on) the moon are the relative potential safety of a controlled underground lunar environment, the liklihood of being surrounded by similar-minded people, the untapped potential of lunar resources (including large quantities of helium-3, an isotope of helium that could be the key to nuclear fusion research), and the kind of "frontier" atmosphere it would present. Sign me up!

    I would like to go to the moon but only to say I went, there really isn't anything to see up their yet alone to do, its like going to the desert only the desert has more life in it.

    I really have no desire to go to the moon. There are so many other places on this Earth that I would rather spend my time seeing. Besides, even if available to the general public, I would think it would be outlandishly expensive!?

    No. What I like to see when I visit new far away places are the fauna, lakes, rivers, sea shores, green mountains, trees and flower plants...you get the picture...something I am 100% sure I won't find if I visit the moon...

    JAMMco... its complicated...

    No. I don't want to go anywhere that I cannot live without artificial means.

    This is the reason I don't scuba dive... my life depends on the air tank on my back and the little things that get the air to my mouth. At least then I can surface... eventually and maybe get air and live. On the Moon, if they create structures to contain air I always worry, what happens when they stop working? What happens when a meteor hits the facility? With no Atmosphere or Ozone, what prevents it from happening? It doesn't have the same protection as the Earth which was perfectly designed for us.

    Too much risk of death for my taste. I value my life too much.

    Visiting would be cool, but I'm scared of heights (though I don't mind flying on airplanes).

    I'm a bit scared of space travel even with so many space trips being safe. . .

    I'm happy here on earth - yet, the view would be amazing. . .but I don't think I could handle it, really.
