Fuck all to do there init. Not even a spoons.
Nah they got knives though 🔪
They’d go if there was a crappy resort town with English speaking bartenders and a branch of Greggs.
How dare you! You're right, but how dare you.
I mean... 🤔
Well personally I don’t care that much. Going there is probably also a lot of faff. If it took 5h to get there “door to door” maybe. I understand the people who would like to go there, though, I completely get it.
To be given the chance to visit a safe friendly alien planet inhabited by intelligent species, now that’s something I’d like to do. Probably more for the cultural experience.
Wallace and Gromit went to the Moon. I think they decided it was made of Wensleydale.
The moon is made of a British town?
The cheese. ;)
I would though, it would be an incredible view. But only in at least as much safety as in a car.
The monkey's paw curls. You find yourself in the passenger seat of a luxurious, self-driving car, driving up into the sky with the moon directly in front of you. A speed limit sign flies past; "55 mph"
That's a year's round trip :D
Pretty much everyone who has been to space claims its one of the most transformative perspective changing things they have done.
Just wait until it gets filled with tourists.
Nothing quite spoils even the most awe-inpiring experience than being surrounded by people who "just have to" vocalize (worse, as some kind of performance for those around them) how much awe inspiring the whole thing is.
Mind you, I'm an introvert, so maybe it's just me having trouble appreciating socially performative "awe".
Damn, I'd go there even now, no need to guarantee security. Put my ass in a box to Jupiter with guaranteed no way back, I'll go.
There's no one there... It's the perfect place!
Just go to your local high street.
The thing is that you can't guarantee safety. Things can always go wrong. Perhaps that's why people are cautious about it.
It's a hypothetical, you're supposed to ignore the logistics. That said, you are correct, a bunch of people cited this reason.
Hypotheticals can be interesting but I think they're more interesting when you think about how they would actually work in reality.
Like if someone says "would you give up alcohol forever for £1 million". Surely the interesting part of that question is thinking about how it would work in reality. For example would you be allowed to take the £1 million, invest it, end up with several million, then pay back the original £1 million so you can drink alcohol again?
Everything can go wrong in one way or another, it just depends how high the risk is. People drive their car every day, even if there is a chance that they wont make it to the next day because of it.
But the risk just isnt felt to be too high in comparison to the usefulness, or people wouldnt drive.
If I knew that it was fairly safe to go to the moon, I would do it, even if it could mean that I dont come back, because it would be a pretty special experience.
is every single litte town in England just a shithole with knife crimes?
I couldn't say as I haven't visited them all.
I'd definitely take a trip there if my safety was guaranteed, I love space and even just the idea of going into orbit is incredibly cool to me.
