Could you handle a year in outer space?

Takes a special person.

pick me ! lets get it on

To get away from all the morons, I would like to give it a try. No Libs, no race cards, no obama.

I suppose so, but why would I want to?

No,No, No, I already answered this and I think space voyage is awesome and interesting but not for a year. Maybe at the most for a few days. It's incredible that some are able to tolerate such a long time in such a different environment.

As long as I had something to keep me busy. I could even handle it alone.

Funny how people just ignore the truth. Because I have found the way to live on the moon, by growing air.

I like to be able to take a walk outside and smell the fresh air. I really can't see myself confined in a small area eating gross space food.

Absolutely.

I think I might be able to if the destination was MARS. I could take along my BOOKS, DVD'S and I could talk to loved ones back home via VIDEOPHONE.

If I had the training required to do so, and if I had already gone once there, so I had the experience to deal with it, plus I would require a lot of food that would last a year on good conditions, and enough air for a year..if I had all that, then sure why not?

Do not think that I could take much more than a week or two.

I think at first it would be fun, but after a few weeks,it would be hard You would be so trapped feeling and I believe it would slowly drive me crazy!

I don't really know about a year, but I'd dearly love to give it a try. I'm assuming the stay doesn't mean your ashes in a container the size of a lipstick tube which is the only way I could afford it.

With provisios - pleasant company, something worthwhile to do while up there, a gym to keep fit, guaranteed safety - no nasty micrometeorites making naughty little holes in a thin - walled space ship, and good regular meals of my choice. Complete set of new clothes, Oh, and a proper bed and shower, 12-hour daily access to the net, complete medical and dental treatment beforehand, and a free Hasselblad digital camera with lenses I choose, to record the year, which I would get to keep after the year ended! - sounds good to me - when do I start? - The trip would be great, the weightlessness a relief to start with, and so forth - and I would publish a travellogue and book too, and I am a 'grey' already. I am a bit worried about the astronaut's pix above - it looks like his hand has been resting on a smoke covered surface - how many got back alive on his trip, I wonder, or have the FBI been taking palm prints? - oh, no, on second thoughts, he probably did finger painting to pass the time, perhaps?

Until they build a much larger space station, I don't think that I'll be spending that much
time in a space station. Although, I'm not really clausterphobic, I do get cabin fever quite
easily. I'd probably go stir crazy after a few months.

as long as i have everything that i want and need

Sign me up.

nope, your bones go to pot when you're in outer space.. no gravity has some bad effect on your bones. Be a bummer to come home after a year and stand on the ground and your legs to crumble because the bone density is gone. They have to solve that issue first.

i'd love it......... but i'd probably vomit.

I would rather be under the sea

It would be a decent break from the planet earth and all of its trials, turmoils, and tribulations. People incessantly bitching about the government, organizations constantly begging for the money we need to feed ourselves, wars all over the globe. NASA take me away!

Mentally, I have been in space for many years already, but physically is another story. I'm crazy, but not THAT crazy.

In a shot. It's a broken promise to my generation.

Sign me up!!!

I'd have fun with it, i'm a "loner" anyway lol But i'd probably be "glomped" by my family and friends when I get back ^_^

What's the big deal? I've lived my whole life in outer space,I hope I get another year

No. No way. I don't believe that I could. Just the weirdness of it alone I think would overwhelm me.

Being a retired submariner... I would say piece of cake without issue. :)

My creditors would still find a way to contact me daily...GRRRRRRR

Not with current technology, no.

Why do you ask? Why do you want to know this about me? What's it to you?

Sure.

Of course I could...it would be a year where I would not have to witness our despot president turn us into a communist, Muslim, racist, and entitlement cheat cesspool. By the time I returned, he would have been impeached or voted out of his dictatorship...Hell, I could do it if it three years.

You assume much.

i would go insane

I'm sure the Space Station has more space than a NYC apartment.

Depends on how much money you've got.

One year, two, fifty,mars would be cool!

Absolutely yes !!!!!! One of my biggest bucket list items since I was a kid in the 60s along with sex in space !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
