Internet connectivity won't be limited to AT&T 3G will it? Then yes :)

Yes, though, as I get older I'm not sure my stomach could handle the thrill ride of lift-off.
- Bill Rawlinson
Hellya

I'd say yes pretty much without thinking.

Part of me wants to scream "Hell yeah!", and the other part of me is thinking "Well, maybe when they release Moon Flight SP1" #toomuchtechinmylife
- Andy Bold
Without hesitation yes but I would prefer to go further to Mars. But if I was asked today to go I would say yes immediately. If you want me to clean the toilets at the launch facility I'll do that too, anything to get us out there!
- Brian Bufalo
Sign me up!!!

Sure, I'd go again. I haven't done it in this century.

No. I don't even dare to take the plane to the US, so this is probably a little bit more too much.
- Ton Zijp
YOU BET!
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Sure
- Amit Morson
QUESTION: You have the oppotunity to take a trip in space and explore a far-away world. Money is no object, and you have a reasonably good chance of surviving the trip. But there is also a chance that you will be gone for many years from earth. Do you stay, or do you go?

I go - time's awastin :D
- martha
One day is fine, the next is black So if you want me off your back Well come on and let me know Should I Stay or should I go

I'm outta here!
- jcunwired
Go, hands down!
- Fossil Huntress
I'm also in the kids boat.. if they can come with, I'm on there in a heartbeat..
- Kim
Hell yes I'd go. I wouldn't even have to think about it. To travel across the stars and stand on alien soil? Oh hell yes!
- josh neff, geek at large
Go. No second thoughts.
- Beau Liening
Stay, peeps over planets.
- Steve C
Only if starship has kittens. I don't have children, limited family and they would understand.
- Janet
There will be a limited space for pets.
- Steven Perez
from IM
If I can't go with Cassie and our cats, no.
- Alex Scoble
Stay.
- Jim: Dead Like FF
By "far away world," I assume you mean one in our solar system. Were I in my late 50s to mid 60s, I would go. There's a good chance you'll end up with cancer at some point in your life from the radiation exposure.
- Christopher A Carr
Gone without a second thought.
- Michael McKean
Christopher: took that into account; hence, the caveat "you have a reasonably good chance of surviving the trip". :)
- Steven Perez
from IM
Ah, Douglas Adam's "B Ark" plan!
- Andrew C
Go, go, go.
- Google Lunar X PRIZE
We haven't left yet?
- CAJ, somewhere else
Why is this even an issue?! Go, of course!
- Mona Nomura
from fftogo
Go! :)
- giuseppe c. | markgreene
We humans must spread our seed across the universe!
- Raphael, Raphael
hell yeah!
- anna sauce
Not liking limited space for kitten. The litter can be used as fuel, sheesh.
- Janet
Sorry, this ship runs on salt water. Kitteh poop goes out the poop chute. :)
- Steven Perez
Steven, you might survive the trip, but if you live long enough after the trip, you are likely to develop some sort of cancer.
- Christopher A Carr
I stay. This ship is getting crowded. Makes me think of an elevator.
- Jess
Well, this is a big ship. :)
- Steven Perez
If we go to Mars anytime soon, it' would likely have to be a one-way trip -- at least without any guarantees of a return.
- Christopher A Carr
There's too many places here on earth I'd like to visit and haven't had the pleasure of seeing yet, so I'll stay. Have fun.
- Derrick
Not if the trip takes years. I'd probably draw the line at six months.
- John E. Bredehoft
I'll go if Shawn is coming with, but I am bringing yarn and my yoga mat. :P
- Alix Whitmire
Go.
- pea
Space? Meh. Time? Bring it on.
- Penguin It's Cold Outside
One thing at a time, Sally Sparrow. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
I would go but only if my family could go also. I know Joelito would love it...he loves anything "outer space" as he so eloquently puts it
- jamar78
I'd go, not much keeping me here and I like travelling. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Fuggit I'll go. Wait, do they have fish in this other world?
- Rodfather
*honks from the ship* 'Come ON! Let's get going people! and by the way.....SHOTGUN!"
- Morgan Haley
the grass is seldom greener, just seems that way - so STAY - besides, lots to do here, lots of better to make
- William Harryman
my bag is packed, can the last person left on earth please turn out the lights
- tony bland
First no room for kitten then it is a big ship. What if I grow strawberries -hydroponic like (can I take kitten now?)
- Janet
Well, I had to redesign the ship to accommodate more pets, which meant more room for parks, which meant more room for food and crops. So, yeah, lots of kittehs. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
I'd go.
- Aaron Macom
Kittehs are good things! I can't wait - lets go
- martha
Go go go
- Trish Benningfield
i would have gone if you'd asked me in the early 90s, but not now.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
If I could take hubby and doggies.
- Carmen
Welllllllll, ... OK. But you have to bring the Fanta shirt. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
is there internet? is this a solo trip? how long is "many years"?
- tiffany
go
- MikeAmundsen
Tiffany: Yes. Nope. Lots.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Deal! I'll go.
- Carmen
i'll go as long as i can pick who goes with me. EDIT: oh hell, there's internet access. i don't need company when i have the internet.
- tiffany
That's a given.
- Steven Perez
How many years? Up to five, absolutely. More than that, I'll think about it. But having the internet and kittehs certainly ups my tolerance. :-)
- Deborah Fitchett
Hmmm, tough. I'd rather spend those years traveling Earth, I think, though.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Stay... too much to see on this planet.
- Alistair (alpinefolk)
I'd be GONE!
- Jessica
Go!
- Chris Luckhardt
Only if there was some way for me to have internet access on a regular basis. After all, who is going to check my email while I am gone? And I'll probably want to blog about the adventure, as it unfolds.

Help convince my Wife why she should join FriendFeed.

After seeing all the community Love for our anniversary post, she finally thinks it might be time to see why I'm on here so much.
- Mark Krynsky
Come join the other wives here! :D There are several wives of FF guys.
- Rochelle
Hi Mrs. Mark's Wife! You should *totally* join us here. It's a lot of fun!
- Ladybug Heather
Because we're fun, and only a little crazy ;-)
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
If only I could convince my husband to get on board. :)
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
What a sweet picture! And, hi Mark's wife *waves* :)
- Anna Haro
Because you get to meet really incredible people and share ideas, thoughts, and neat internet content with them. There is value in the learning, fun in the interactions, and a strange form of intimacy that derives from shared experiences and self-revelation.
- Neal Jansons
You guys are a great looking couple!
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Don't do it! You look like you have a life still! It will suck you in and never let go!
- Josh Haley
I'd go with "It's nothing like facebook, but if it were, it'd be facebook without all the crap, plus it's for cool people, people who like cool people, and girls."
- Slappy Line
If you are a couple on FF please add yourselves to the directory here http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Mark Krynsky
*sad sigh*
- Slappy Line
You really need to track what your husband is up to. :-p
- Hutch Carpenter
FriendFeed rules. My fiancee was a hater until she dipped a toe in the water, now she loves it. It's like the best stuff of the Internet all rolled up into one, like a toaster strudel.
- Steve Isaacs
because all the cool x prize kids are doing it.... just look at that hat!
- Google Lunar X PRIZE
She should join because of FriendFeed's demonstrated scalable infrastructure, Media RSS support, and the way it gets details right in using social graph data to facilitate content discovery. At least, that's how I would explain it.
- Bruce Lewis
from fftogo
Cuz i'm here ... 'nuff said. :P
- ·[▪_▪]·
Because interesting stuff is found or even gets invented, sometimes just for the moment, and you get to be part of it. For instance I took all the comments here from the first through "Cuz i'm here", randomized all the words with a quick script (http://textsnip.com/533aa3) and posted it. This was the first randomization, and there was no editing: http://textsnip.com/4a2fe2 Hard to choose a favorite fragment, but I'm going with: "Because join would thinks anniversary you via water, in on picture!"
- Micah Wittman
Thank you ladies for the encouragement. @Neal, good points! @Josh...shhhh. @Hutch...she has no idea. @Steve...Tru-Dat...mmm, strudel. @GLXP that's right, we're the coolest. @Bruce...hide...losing her ;). @Micah that is the geekiest thing I've seen on FF yet...well done!
- Mark Krynsky
Cos of the distinct lack of extended drum solos?

- Mark Krynsky
Hi there!! *waves hands wildly* YES, please hang out with Mark, he needs your help! hahahaha!!! just kidding :)

@Mark's Wife.... considering all the women posted in this thread... don't you want to keep an eye on him?
