Was just thinking how I 've always wanted to be one of those white-suited (why does it have to be white when they do a moon or space walk? - must have some logic) people walking on other planets, finding microscopic life on the same or getting to view the grandeur of the cosmos up close and personal...
but then, I'd rather watch them on the Net, the TV or read about their findings in some journal...
why? because I'm pretty claustrophobic...and the thought of being packed in a closed artificial environment with 3 or more other humans, with NO fresh air (and I mean the polluted emission-filled stuff I live on, not the pure stuff in the hills, if it exists), no way of opening a window or going out for a walk, basically having to live or simulate living *normally* in that setup, just freaks me out.
I'm sure they have ways around it, acclimatization sessions etc...but unless they give me a mosnter dose of a sedative, I don't see myself there....but never say never.
Long intercontinental flights kill me for the very same reason...I have to fight the urge to just saunter to the exit and try to bash my way through for a walk after every some minutes. And dont even get me started on seeing the same bunch of people around me forever in that lil space.
oh well, I guess science can wait for my 2 pence worth of contribution. :-D
