Not until it's safe as commercial airliners. Then, sure.

If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.
Nah. There's fuck all there.
That's why it's called "space" and not "interesting shit"
No, it's extremely hostile to humans and getting there is even more dangerous.
I'm already exploring it. I just happen to travel on spaceship earth.
Get me a Millenium Falcon-sized interstellar freighter and a stable supply line, and I'll never set foot planetside again.
Not with our current technology. It seems pretty dangerous still.
Of course, why? Why the f not?
If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.
Yes!! With consumer space flight becoming an option, it would be a dream of mine to go into space!
Unlikely. Too lonely out there.

Absolutely, if I trusted the equipment. It would be incredible to be the first to discover something out there.
If exploring space was like Star Trek, yes.
Fuck yes.
I don't even need money, just give me a place to sleep, some food and access to some entertainment and I'll work for free if it means I get to explore space. Imagine seeing Jupiter with your own eyes and seeing the swirling clouds and the great red spot. Or getting to see a brown dwarf, or a rogue planet wandering through space without a star, or a chaotic three body system etc. The possibilities are endless and it's all absolutely fascinating!
I'd be happy to help support others to get to space but I'll stay home. I just have no interest in it.
