Question of the day: Would you go to space?

I mean, it depends. If it was a sci-fi-ish scenario where we have functioning life support and so on, I'd jump on the chance in a jiffy if my partner could come with me. On the other hand, space doesn't care even slightly about keeping me alive, so I'd likely quickly end up dead or crippled from too much or too little heat, pressure, radiation, minute chemical variances in atmosphere or any other things we take for granted planetside.

Well, I would prefer staying on earth. Seems safer. Plus, I don't like all that 2 ½   hours of exercise everyday that astronauts go through. On earth you can just go for a walk for about an hour and don't eat too much, and you'll be fine, but in space, you'll lose bone density, among other stuff if you don't exercise. Plus, you also have to fear high energy particles like alpha, beta particles, and bare nuclei that can cause mutations your DNA , and earth is much more protected from them  than the space station. 

So thanks, but no thanks.
